1981 Trans Am LS project

I piked up this car for $1000. Dropping a LS1 in with a TH400 behind it. I got my OBDII port hooked up today and am working on the wires. Not to happy about the computer mount but it is still under construction. More to come

Yeah...whats wrong with it? Missing the floors? Missing the entire interior???

Thats a STEAL! Im in no position to buy anything let alone another car...but if I found an older firebird for 1k in that nice a shape I would figure out a way!

Good luck with it! The PCM mount doesnt look horrible. Maybe fab something that covers it and the wires to keep it simple. Put a screaming chicken sticker on top or something... Ive seen a lot worse.
