Default thinking about parting out my car: 496 big block camaro

I've got an '87 Z28 for sale or trade for an LS1, but I'm now thinking about parting it out.

Here's the motor and tranny:
427 tall deck .060" over, 4 bolt mains

-Probe Industries 496ci stroker kit: steel crank, light weight 4340 racing rods, forged domed pistons (10.2:1)
-Dart Pro1 Aluminum heads 325cc
-Weiand Team G intake
-Holley HP 950cfm
-Crane Solid Roller .615"/.636" 245/254 110 lobe separation, Isky roller lifters, Comp Pro Magnum Rockers, Moroso stud girdle
-March Pulley set
-Dynamic Racing Transmissions TH400 race tranny with Edge Racing Converters 9 1/2" 3400 stall converter, custom 3" driveshaft, Spohn crossmember, Moroso deep race pan

$7,000 OBO for the whole setup listed, $5,000 for the motor seperate, $2,000 for the tranny and converter etc.

After the motor sells, the car will be sold as a roller. If you want details or have any questions, just ask!

I've also got the full MSD ignition, complete aeromotive fuel system, radiator,etc. All of the parts are less than a year old.

I don't really want to sell any of the stuff like that before I get a sale on the motor, but if you want something let me know and I'll get back to you.

I've got pictures and details if you're interested.
Email is crazycamaro454@aol.com

Thanks,
Jim

The front of the car has the stock suspension setup. The rear suspension has a four link setup, koni coil overs, QA1 springs, spohn adjustable panhard bar. The rear itself is a Ford 8.8 all done up...Superior 31 spline axles, Eaton posi, 3.55's installed with 3.73's included, disc brakes.

It is not a t-top car, I didn't want the car to twist even though it's got a 4 pt cage and subframe connectors on it. I know I'm forgetting some stuff, but I'm going to post this anyways because I'm at work. I'll post as I remember, but if there are other questions, just ask.

Anyone interested at all? The motor and tranny can barely have 1000 miles on them. The oil's been changed 3 times already and the tranny fluid twice. It was never sprayed and has only been to the track once!

All of the prices are negotiable or tradeable

I'm entertaining the idea of putting an LS1 into my car if I don't want to sell the roller, that's the only reason I'm considering parting out these parts.

On the dyno through the TH400 and the 8.8 it made 463rwhp/588rwtq on 93 octane.

If you don't get any offers, try posting up on racingjunk.com. I don't know where else you posted the car up, but it's definately worth a shot.

I've personally never sold anything there, but know a few who have.

Tell Matt and John I say hi,

Here is a TTT for ya. Personally, I think you are NUTS to even think about selling this. Please don't part it out though! What is even mroe of a mystery is why no one has bought it yet.
