Default wut to do with 94 forumla

well it feels good to be back with an fbody..i used to have a 99 ws-6 untill i flipped it. i currently have an 07 mustang gt, but i just bought a 94 formula A4. its all rolling chassis all there except motor and trans. it came with an lt1 short block with a bad rod bearing. im not looking to spend alot of money cuz just like most of us were not made of money. wut should i do with this car?

build the short block buy a 4l60 and all new accessories and ecu/harness
buy a complete lt1/trans off ebay used for around 1000-1500
sell it as is mayb makea few bucks..bodys in mint shape.

if put back together correclty wut would this car b worth?

Sell the mustang and build the formula!!! Just kidding. I would rebuild the motor and drop in a built 4l60e. Depends on how much money you want to spend. So I guess the first thing is figure out your budget.

I was just kidding with you. But since its a roller you pretty much can do whatever you want with it. You could even do an lsx swap if you have the money.

Thats a good deal. Hell my stroker is gonna cost me $3100.00 just for the bottom end to be done all Forged and Splayed Caps. Let alone the LE2 H/C Package is another $2,000.00 shipped. Plus all the gaskets and Misc. Things such as TB, Injectors, Ported Intake, Tune, etc...
It adds up quickly. But anyways I just wanted to say congrats on getting you another F-Body! I couldn't see myself driving any other sports car. But Good Luck with whatever you decide....

what are your intentions for the car? Daily driver? Drag? street/ strip? There are endless possibilities but it is difficult for us to give you advice without your parameters of the car.
let us know... if i were in the situation, i'd lose the automatic (like you're thinking) and build an lsx, but budget is detrimental and projects like these are always more expensive than originally projected. Good luck
