Ok im lookin at a 91 z28 in nice condition for 4200 already has the v8-305 and the Manual tranny.

I have a 89rs with some money put in on the exterior

hood scopp
new right fender
hood pins
highrise z28 spoiler
trenz billet grille
bought the z06 rims
glasspack
AND finally PEARL white paint

well anyway down to it..

my car is a 2.8 v6 with a 700r4 thats sh!tty.. the drivetrain is just horrible

My Plans

-My 355 vortec thats being built 400+hp
-T56 trans
-new d/s
-4th gen rear-so my z06's mount good in the back/with hp no spacers brakeing if theres a chance.

what do you think i should do?.. do all this swap on this v6 and save money

buy this z28 for 4200 .. wait awhile.. and basically start all over drop the motor in that and t56 ect

id like to hear your thoughts rather then just the pole please.. i need to kno this now before i start any performance on the car

 

use youre 4200 and do the 355 6 spd swap

Why buy the z28 only to pull the drive train and replace it, doesnt make sense.

 

that is true.. as goes for its not as much work but i get your point

 

its just as much work with the z28, your not going to use the tpi setup, so everything needs to be rewired for the carb.

The only difference with the rs is replacing the motor mounts, rad, pedals and cutting a hole

 

from the sound of things in the car audio forum you are really serious about improving your car so i say keep it and continue on with your plan. you seem to really enjoy working on it, i.e. sub box/wall, so this will give you some more added fun time by yourself with your "dream" as i feel sometimes.

 

im a fan of the 91-92 Z's. i would get one if i had the money for another thirdgen.

i'd rather go fast in one of those than an RS

 

u got pics of the 305 5 speed car?

 

Keep your car, very nice looken.

be even nicer with the 355.

like an earlier post stated "doesnt make sense" when you got a clean RS to put a 355 in.
even tho u gotta find a 6 speed. But I think that 4200 will cover it without a doubt.

you can make that RS look like a Z28 anyway with aftermarket
body panels made from fiberglass.

If my thirdgen looked like the exterior of your car, I could devot all my cash into the drive train.

your lucky, sweet maro

 

do the v8 swap unless oyu're car is a rust bucket and the other car is something special like a 1LE (good luck on that one!)
