This is a good buddy of mines car and he doesn't do the hole forum thing and to be honest he is not to mechanically inclined either. In the process of my swap he decided to buy a swapped rx7 because he thought the idea of a big v8 in the car was "cool". Well he was taken by surprise when the car he thought was "running and driving" showed up with a slewwwww of problems, minor, but problems.

Honestly I just dont have the time to help him and he doesnt have the extra $$ either. I spent 2 weeks fixing up wiring, swapping and the carb, making gauges work etc... Just so he can decide to sell it

. Car still needs some TLC but is a GREAT project starter or if you wana runnit as is so be it.

Good: (info comming from previous owner )
- chevy 350 vortec motor (98 model w/10k miles. Came from a factory reacalled suburban)
- Keith black flat top pistons .030 over (now 355)
- Upgraded rods
- Upgraded crank
- Small upgraded cam
- Summit intake manifold
- Holly 600cfm carb
- 700r4 with corvette servos and B&m shift kit (shifts hard and firm)
- Shorty tuby headers
- factory elec suspension
-black interior
-sony radio
-Fog lights (driverside needs lense)
- POWER STEERING!!
- A/c still there just no condensor or pump.
- Gauges work except oil press
- Grannies mount kit
-crane cams xr-i ignition and adjustable revlimit
- T2 hood -just installed 11/3/12
-new cap and rotor 11/4/12
-car came 5spd and the peddle and cylinder is still there if you want to convert back to manual.

Cons: brutaly honest here!
-Roof clear coat is flaking
-Car has surface rust around wheel wells. Not crazzy amounts, just small quarter size surface rust
-small area on pass side underneath is dented and has a tiny hole in it 6" x 5" looks,like some body jacked it improperly.
-no front speakers
-driver seat has tear on it
-lock cylinders on DOORS need to be re-keyed (lock smith quoted me $10 per cylinder)
-wing is mounted improper (needs proper bolts)
-Could realy use some cleaning up in engine bay. (wiring works but could be done a lot nicer)

This car is PERFECT for some one looking for a project car. looking for $3000 OR BEST OFFER!

sorry about the pics, i forgot to close the hood and pass door.
