Default 98 Trans Am roller 25.5 cage, 9 inch etc

After racing this car for four years its time to move on, I was going to sell it complete but last time I had it out the car got up pretty high on a wheelstand abd cracked the oil pan, I put a new pan on it and drove it around yesterday and it was leaking oil. Unfortunately the block cracked also so I'm going to part the engine out, keep the blower/trans and sell the roller.

Its a 1998 Trans Am, I am the second owner of the body, friend of mine bought it new and it was nearly stock and had 34K on the odometer. Paint is in great shape for a 10 year old black car, hood is a suncoast WS6 style and the rear hatch has been changed to regular formula wing.

Lot of stuff on this car so I'll just start listing things..

Custom lightweight double adjustable LCAs with QA1 rod ends, UMI CM panhard bar and LCA relocation brackets, CE three way adjustable drag shocks, Spohn Drag rear sway bar, Random Tech torque arm, BMR TH400/torque arm relocation mount. Moser 9” housing narrowed 3.25 a side, Moser HD aluminum center section, spool, 3.70 gear, billet yoke, 35 spline gun drilled axles with the lightening hole flanges and moroso 5/8 wheel studs.

Nasty aluminum fuel tank, Magnafuel 100 micron pre-filter, Magnafuel 4303 fuel pump, -8 braided to 10 micron Aeromotive filter to Speed Inc fuel rails to an Aeromotive regulator back to the tank.

BigStuff 3 with internal data logger and 3 BAR MAP, latest firmware. Autometer 2 5/16 Phantom boost, fuel level and electronic fuel pressure gauge, Stewart Warner ‘4shift’ tach/shiftlight. Taylor battery box, Optima red top battery, flaming river ‘big switch’ cutoff and lever.

Aerospace front drag brakes (new pads 3/07), Strange drag rear brakes, new pads 12/07, SJM line lock, Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve. PA racing K-member, prothane engine mounts, UMI chrome moly lower A arms, Strange single adjustable front shocks, QA1 generation F 300 lb/in springs.

Mickey Thompson 15x3.5 billet front wheels, 2 month old M/T ET front tires. Mickey Thompson 15x10 4.5 backspace double beadlocked wheels (OMF), M/T 10.5x28S ET drags with 6 passes on them

Very very nice W2W built 25.5 cage, NHRA and IHRA cert for 7.50 until 4/2011. I'm 6'3" and 225 and fit in it, smaller may need to get the seat remounted. RJS window net, Kirkey ‘economy’ drag race seats, G-Force 5pt camlock harness (just replaced, good to 8/2009), Grant GT steering wheel with Grant quick release. Wolfe parachute mount (easily removable) with Stroud comp eliminator chute. Safecraft 5lb halon onboard fire system.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things... Car 60 foots with the best of them (1.23-1.25 is pretty common on a decent track). I have the original bumper support/license plate cover/fog lamps, also have all the wiper parts plus the original fans if you want to go nitrous or N/A. Car is set up for a TH400 and will come with TH400 driveshaft, B&M prostick with ACD air shifter, trans cooler, TH400 crossmember, radiator, and some other misc parts. I also have some Kooks 1 7/8 headers (little banged up but cant beat them for free) and a y-pipe/flowmaster merge, 4" magnaflow mufller that will go with the car if you want them.

$14,000.00 for the roller, NO TRADES. I can sell without the BS3 for 13K if you dont want to put an LS1 in it. If you want to build a fast 7.50 legal LS powered 4th gen and you have an engine and trans you cant beat it, I have a clear title and its ready to go - no waiting. Here are some pics, naturally there will be no engine/trans

Yes I'll be parting the engine. Block is junk, rest of it should be OK, I'll have the engine disassembled in the next couple days.

I really hate to see you sell it Kevin, but I can say it's probably the cleanest racing F-Body I've seen. You could not build this car for near that price. Good luck man and keep in the LS1 game.

Have a pending sale to Jason in Chicago.

Thanks for all the interest.

Appreciate it Brian, I doubt I'll do another LS based car, just getting bored with it..

Got a long list of people that want it but I'll let you know if everyone else falls through.

I'm going to miss it, I have had a lot of cars but this is one of my all time favorites and its funny because I hate black Trans Ams lol.

I can only take one deposit

It is a very nice car, sold it a little too cheap I think. But after four years of racing it, being on the cover of a couple magazines, winning a lot of races with it and being one of the few to run in the 8's with a 346 inch LS1 I got my money's worth out of it and then some.

Its a beautiful car and it deserved a new owner to appreciate it, I was just getting burned out on the racing thing overall and needed a break. If the car was sitting here I would have to race it
