Found a crossram...is it worth anything?

Title says it all. I found a crossram at a kinda local yard, but holy shlemoleys that thing looks like its going to really suck to pull. Anyone here know if its worth anything and if so what parts are the hard to find must haves?

Re: Found a crossram...is it worth anything?

Weren't crossfire injected engines absolute garbage? From what I hear everyone say, crossfire engines were an absolute failure and pain in the ***. Hard to maintain, hard to find parts for, bad fuel consumption, yet not delivering enough power to the engine.

I'm new and only knew the diff between a big block and small block engine like 6 months ago, but this is what I've been hearing.

Re: Found a crossram...is it worth anything?

from a performance standpoint they are nothing special, but i think they are neat, i have an 82 z28 with crossfire and a GM Goodwrench engine for parts that i was always going to swap onto my 89 Firebird

the wiring when compared to a tbi motor is very similar, painless even uses the same harness, with an adaptor for the throttle bodies
