I know it, but it came on it when I bought it in Oct for $1200. Im planning a SBC/th350 but will most likely score a used 6.0L and carb that w/ the th350. Right now I have
$1200 in the car,
$415 for the 01 TA 3.23 Axle, suspension and aluminum DS & new pads
$1200 for wheel/tire combo, came off my totalled 99 Z28

So I figure I could do a carb swap for about 3-4 grand, build a th350 for around $300 and new shocks/springs up front for around $200 and someday a custom gauge cluster. I dont know!!
