450$ 97 Trans Am I picked up a rolling 97 TA with clean title today it still has t-56 but no motor,pcm or wiring harness. It also has some suspension work and supposedly 410 in rear. My main question is what motor to go back in.
1. Lt1 355/383
2. 6.0 ls
I know the Lsx will prob be more money and work. Thanks Joe

Ok sorry I didn't give enough info. Its goin to be a toy more strip/street but I want to stay t56. I don't want a 25 k all out build but i am willing to spent 8-10k to have a good running car.

With that budget I would build a nice 355 with a H/C package from AI or LE. "Advanced Induction" or "Loyd Elliot". Should have enough $$ left over for suspension, clutch etc. This is assuming you and your buddies are doing most of the wrenching.
Forged Professionally built 355, 383 or 396 a badd *** clutch some trans work and a new rearend because the stock ones are made of glass especially with 4.10's M6 and power.

Saw this today browsing craigslist, http://southjersey.craigslist.org/pts/2744097358.html
There are some great deals out there. I would definitely find a motor that someone built and then never used. Save alot of $$$.
Good luck!
