I'll say this if it has all those mods the gas mileage will not be very good. hint TH400 3800 stall Plus it has no A/C

You have to tell yourself do I want a race car? or Street car? That car may be streetable, but it will suck as a daily driver it's more of a race car or weekend warrior "street" machine.

If you are short on funds don't buy this thing as your only car. You will soon hate it.

Sounds like a really hot modded car. I wouldn't use it as a daily driver.

mine is daily driver going to work and all . i fill up and 3 days later i have to fill up again at 3.07 a gallon. and i still haven't put on any major mods.

Not too much of the original SS left! I am asking myself why you are even considering this car? It sounds like a nightmare.

Use as DD? NO!
Mileage? 10-14. When it is running. Ha Ha (you will need another car to drive when this one is broke down).

A price? The trans & engine are worth 5-7k used and abused. Is the paint perfect? Hows the interior? with answers of fair and fair 5 for the car no drivetrain.

IMHO Pass. Better yet, RUN!

I'd never buy a modded car unless i knew the owner and the car VERY well before hand.

id probably pass, in my honest opinion that car isnt making very much power for the mods that are done to. i mean hes got a forged out low compressoin 383 w/ a blower and only putting 446 at the wheels? i might be wrong but i would expect a little more out of a car with all of that and no A/C. just my 2cents.

BlueSix

Those numbers are through a TH400 and probably an unlocked converter. I wouldn't say the car "isn't making very much power..."

Definitely not a car I'd rely on as a daily driver.

The power seems pretty low for a blown stroker. Anyone else notice that?

My 385 LT4 put down 432/468 NA through a 12 bolt and a billingsley extreme driveshaft.

Might be a nice car, however. Not enough info to determine that. But there's enough info to determine it would not make a good daily driver.

Whoops, didn't see your post before I entered mine. I'd disagree with you too. I'd expect a well made stroker with 6 psi to be hitting 500 RWHP.

The car in question is only putting out 14 more RWHP than my UNBLOWN stroker, that dyno'd through a 4L60E with a loose 10.5 inch 'verter unlocked, a heavy steel DS, a Strange 12 bolt, and... FWIW heavy OEM wheels (more rotating mass).

BlueSix

It's an 8.5:1 motor with a small cam and only 6 psi, it's not gonna be a dyno queen.
