Im Back Not many remember me round here but I started about 8 years ago when I first joined the service was very active when I did my V6/A4>> LT1/T56 swap. what a pain, did some little mods around on the car and was extremely active. well things fell through and money didnt allow me to play anymore....
Well last night I left Cape May, NJ for a 3.5 hr drive up to New York where I grabbed this beauty for 400$ Lowered in the rear on springs and came with a set of Hooker Long tubes. trans is acting funky ( i think its a shift solenoid and needs fresh fluid FINGERS CROSSED) and he swears the snout on the crank is bent. Im going to research that and look into it but either way I have access to a LT1 with 80k on her for 300$ so ill be looking for probably a hotcam and some 1.5/6 RRs here soon just to bump these up a little.
She mainly needs some really good TLC and I plan on tackling that but mainly just wanted to get back into the game with a cheap car that runs and drives. I can always paint and fix that but didnt wanna spend a lot for a driver.... I am sooo stoked. plans on throw some bolt ons and get her cleaned up than try and trade my way up to a T56 car
(PICS WILL BE LOADED WHEN MY LAPTOP WANTS TO PLAY)

yea im not really sure man. im thinking that or he put underdrive pulleys on... I am thining maybe he fucked something up swapping them out. I have snapped cranks before and done everything else. but havent seen a snout bend. I need to get it up in the air and pull the pulley off and see of the snout wobbles or maybe its the pulley idk
