Default FS: 1998 NBM Trans Am

Okay, to make a long story short....3 days ago, I threw a rod due to a spun rod bearing. There is now a hole in the passenger side block. The car ran 12.0-12.1's at the track. Was a nice TA but I can't keep pouring money into it anymore.

I know someone out there can make this TA a beast again, I was thinking about forged everything with a 408.... But I can't afford the modding world anymore.

Still has the Z06 wheels on it, tranny is rebuilt by Deon Faulk @ Faulk Performance. Deon had alot of experience with rebuilding tranny's. Heavy duty everything was equiped, and set up for abuse.

No other problems besides the block, except the front seat has a tear.

$5500 OBO

Still has the Z06 wheels on it, tranny is rebuilt by Deon Faulk @ Faulk Performance. Deon had alot of experience with rebuilding tranny's. Heavy duty everything was equiped, and set up for abuse.

No other problems besides the block, except the front seat has a tear.

Any other questions, feel free to ask.
