450$ 97 Trans Am I picked up a rolling 97 TA with clean title today it still has t-56 but no motor,pcm or wiring harness. It also has some suspension work and supposedly 410 in rear. My main question is what motor to go back in.
1. Lt1 355/383
2. 6.0 ls
I know the Lsx will prob be more money and work. Thanks Joe

With that budget I would build a nice 355 with a H/C package from AI or LE. "Advanced Induction" or "Loyd Elliot". Should have enough $$ left over for suspension, clutch etc. This is assuming you and your buddies are doing most of the wrenching.

Saw this today browsing craigslist, http://southjersey.craigslist.org/pts/2744097358.html
There are some great deals out there. I would definitely find a motor that someone built and then never used. Save alot of $$$.
Good luck!
