Not too far from PA. south western OH.

BTW I don't think I Made it clear in the first post but the motor isn't included. Well if you want it you can have it but it is an LO3 with a rod knock. (best if you have a 350 or someting with power to swap in).

The cars don't come stock with an STB and it is a firebird which means no wonderbar. But Springs, motor mounts (both parts), tranny (w/ flexplate and converter), radiator (sometimes they are the same part sometimes they aren't). misc bolts and such. If you really want the TBI system it can go too (- the fuel pump) but TBI sucks and is hard pressed to make more than 250 HP (and that is hard to get).

I would like to get $250 for the kit w/out the TBI stuff - $325 with the TBI system.

Also some kind of pick up or exchange would need to be arranged an I really do not want to deal with shipping a 200lbs transmission.

BTW the transmission is an 88 so it is not one of the "problem" 700R4s
