hey guys a buddy of mine runs a wrecking yard up here and he just got a 95 trans am in. the car was torched, and the fire got hot enough to melt one of the front rims. i can pick up the engine and tranny for dirt cheap, but is it worth it? i mean the plenum and throttle body melted, harness, etc. is all gone. would the heads and block be salvageable? how bout the tranny? its a 4L60 or whatever.

 

I wouldn't touch it, all the small bits you'll need to get it running will cost you a small fortune aftermarket, and from another wreckers, you'll be making the rest of their motor useless, so they'll also charge an arm and a leg...
plus chances are the motor is shot anyway.

 

thats what i figured maybe ill take an afternoon to tear it down and see how she looks inside. he told me hed hook me up with all the little gidgets and doodads to get it goin again.
