from 600 whp dumdumdumdumdum to 1993 trans am ls1 I have owned mostly mopars. 68 charger r/t, 600 whp srt -4. But my first car was a 85 camaro. i just bought a silver 1993 trans am from a friend of mine. It did not have a motor but i bought a 6 liter lq9 from a hd truck. I am going to buy a rea and a built tranny. from locals. I also bought a 42R turbo. I will be doing a LQ9 swap soon. I am installing manley rods, weisco pistons,arp bolts and new bearings. I will have it balanced of course. I am using the stock lq9 exhaust manny's for the turbo. The car has been painted by a pro. It looks great. Hear are some pics. (needs a radio)

nice lookiing TA for the age.
lower it and slap some good wheels on it.
lq9 should make for a great boost motor.
anxious to see the results. i'm sure you'll surprise a few cars.

Here is my friend finger banging my motor.
The bottom end has crower rods, wiesco pistons, dcr crank strap kit,cryo treated crank, calico coated rod and main bearings.
Head is a dcr race head with crower stage 2 cams.
The car had a 35r turbo with a 82/ar housing and a 75 shot of nitrous I am currently parting it out so i can build the T/A
