Sorry didn't see that post.

Disregard what I was saying. I'd much rather have a straight body and frame. Much easier to work with. Mechanical stuff isn't nearly as costly or time consuming to deal with...

+1 to that.... That was my original thought...

I can bolt off/bolt on anything but I don't want to deal with bend frames, badly dented quarter panels or any of that crap.

This isn't what I meant when I said said starting with a LS car would be less work!

So, are you gonna convert the 93 to a LS car or fix the wreck?

Please start a new thread for this build in the Firebird section, this is NOT an internal engine topic.

So you have 6-700 into the 93 bird and 1200.00 into the trashed LS1 car. I think you could of ponied up another 5-1000.00 a found a decent high mileage LS car to start with and saved your self a bunch of ******* around...to each is own. Good luck with your project.

This means no more responses to this thread and Mr. blurz28ss needs to start a new thread in the Firebird section. He can then post a link to it in here.


Thank you.
