Problems:
You cant put an LS7 clutch behind an LT1 lol...
Stock Rev limiter is set at like 5800rpm... so it has been tuned by the sounds of it and not very well at that. If you plan on buying it you better get it tuned right away you do not want to be running a S/C and not properly tuned or could be doing damage real fast. How many miles on it since the new motor and charger put on?
What its worth?
That all really depends on what kind of condition its in. With 38000km you would normally think its in mint shape. A low km car with a built motor and charger would fetch 10-12k to the right buyer. The market sucks for LT1s cause LS1s are becoming really cheap. IMO if everything checks out i would be willing to bet it would fetch 8-10 to a regular buyer.
Show us more pics and some video if you got it!

You'll have to get a custom chip burned since the car is a '93 model, or start learning how to use 'TunerCats' if you wanna tune the car yourself.

I've been thinking about having my '96 painted Sunfire Yellow, excellent color. Overall production numbers for fourth gen Firebirds in SF are 196 in 1993 and 304 in 1994.
Edit: Looks like GMHTP was wrong on the production numbers. Apparently the following figures are correct ( thanks to JohnnyBs98WS6Rag).
1993: Total 54U: 261
Firebird Coupe: 122
Formula Coupe: 42
T/A Coupe: 97
1994: Total 54U: 454
Firebird Coupe: 165
Formula Coupe: 73 (including the 16 Firehawks)
- Formula Firehawk: 16 (13 M6, 3 A4)
T/A (Y82): 96
T/A (Y83): 120
