Just thinking about it FS After 2 years of not being able to get my car on the road I am thinking about selling it. Depends on what happens in the next month or so.
Its an 87 Iroc z that had a 350 in it but that changed 2yrs ago now the engine that is getting ready to be mated to it is the stock 350 that was bored over to a 355. AFR 190 CC heads (took me a year to save up the cash for these), a Mach serp belt set up, plus a HSR set up all ready to go. Many many more parts.
The tranny is an Elis 700r4 that I bought off of Corey.
The grand total of just the rebuilding the engine & all the parts is well over $5k now.
Dont know what kind of price I will put on it but If anyone may be intrested in it let me know. Will not part it out if the car goes so does the engine.

T-Top or hardtop? Mother in law is kind of in the market for one, she doesn't like her current RS because her tops leak... Has to be drivable also, if you come up with a price let me know, can relay it, but can't guarentee anything.

T-top NOt driveable since the engine is out side of the car. Heck If it was driveable I wouldnt be thinking about selling it. All the parts were bought in Aug & I was suppose to have help putting it together & installing it since Dan & I both dont know how to do it. (there is some stuff that has to be primed & other stuff we dont know how to do) But That help fell through. Promises Made & then Broken time after time.
Doug I dont know if your birdy body could handle the Drag racing engine that this engine is suppose to be. lol

Father in law is a mechanic, and as it stands right now, he has two third gens he already has to put together, then has to fix their current camaro and replace parts on the sister in laws car that she constantly breaks, then on top of that he has his Indy Mustang he has to piece together with me riding his *** to set a week of vacation time so I can help him. Don't think he would take another car to have to put together unfortunately, as neat as it sounds. 
Will say something to a few friends though, can't promise anything though.

Brent, My brother in law is the family Mech around here, He has put together so many engines its not even funny. (The only thing Dan & I have done was put together a crate motor that was already broken in for the most part.We know nothing about how to go about doing this kind of stuff. thats why the wait is all on him.) The brother in law has been promising me for months (since August) that he will come over to help us, But now he has his own little project. Just picked up a 72 Camaro for 500 that needs rebuilt. He isnt willing to come & help. I dont beg him for ANYTHING, because if you tick him off you might as well forget any thing he has promised you.
The only thing I have ask him to do is come help us put the engine back together & put it in, this should only take a day at the most. Dan & I can do the wiring & what have you. We should be able to fire her up even though she will run rough until I can get the new computer system for her, I have $134 left to go out of $200. (unless someone wants to come through my garage to find any 3rd gen stuff they want I got tons of it including most of the org tpi set up for this engine)
There are way too many third gens in Woodinville/Totem Lake are that are in various stages of upgrading - I have no idea why that is. Try posting a craigslist of parts for this area, you may be able to clear out the garage fairly quickly.

found out today I cant work on my car for a while yet. My dad is back in the hospital & is heading to a Long term care place. which means I have to clear out his apartment * his storeage shed of RC Planes that are 20yrs old or older.
Wow! I bet those would be fun to play with 
We need to have a bigass garage sale. There are a couple of folks here that have stuff they want to sell (including us) and this is a good area for it. Let me know if you need help or would like to do that.

I might be interested in the complete black interior... always on the look out for that. Do you have a spare set of seats? One of my co-workers has a 91 Camaro Z28 so I am on the lookout for some parts for her, too.
