Default 95 Lt-1 formula 383,blower, needs body work

UPDATE: Pics added
Guaging interest on anyone buying my 95 Formula. 2 years ago I hydroplaned on the highway and I was coming to a stop the back bumper hit the guardrail. Damage is back bumper needs replacement and rear support under bumper can be rapaired/hammered out a little etc. left rear quarter was pushed forward and is touching the driver side door. Note: door does open and close but back is touching quarter. Nose got light hit but can either replace front bumper or repair, p.s. headlight damaged needs repair and pass side front fender scraped up i believe. Motor is a LT-1 with a corvette 4 bolt block, stroked to 383, has Afr Lt-4 heads with fully comp. ported (at afr) exhausts, dont remember cam specs but was a mild-med size blower cam, Has holly 58mm TB, and corvette Lt-4 intake . All ports are gasket matched including intake ports were port matched to afr head ports. Car has 8 36lb injectors and the extra 3 with the paxtamap controller. Have a paxton supercharger with modified impeller for an extra couple lbs. of boost, has the paxtamap software with the 3 extra injectors on the T.B car also was originally a auto but had too many problems with it so i swapped in a 6-speed from a 95 z28 fron the junk yard, has a centerforce clutch with not much wear had approx 10k miles on it and no problems. Motor since last rebuild has approx 10k miles also and ran good but never got a proffesional tune. went to track once before the afr heads and ran 12.2 @118 spinning the tires. rearend is stock type with 4.10 gears I believe (it's been a while since I built it) either 4.10 or 3.73 . car runs and drives fine. I did take out the gas pedal assy and the schrader valve for my 2000 T/A i bought that needed it but I could get car running if someone serious wanted it for drag car, just drivetrain, etc... started it a year ago after I charged battery. Started right up. In tank 255 pump, also when tank was out I welded in an fittings encase I wanted to put a huge system in later, they are capped off but could be used for 1000 hp + etc... Has edelbrock traction arms/bars, poly. tranny mount, crossdrilled/and or vented rotors with high perf. pads. Car is burgundy in color and interior is gray. If anyone has a rolling car I may consider buying it to make a drag car with my motor. send me a p.m. Car is in fairfield ct if anyone wants to look meet me and look at it. If I dont sell it I have a 68 firebird I was thinking of restoring that the motor can go in. I have most receipts motor work alone at the time was 7k heads were just under 3k i believe, blower was 3,600, Note I also have a VR4 conversion for the blower that will upgrade the boost but would need custon ductwork if used. Send offers if interested
Also I dont believe there was any problems with the rearend or tranny after accident as I drove it about 2 miles and parked it after accident. I had no insurance at the time so my fault >.<

I will probably kick myself in the *** if I do sell the car but I don't think I would take less than 5k for the entire car. I have about 20k into it in just parts, not including the 22.7k I payed for it new. Just the motor with all the mods and quality equipment etc, should be worth more than that. If you want the motor and blower including the vr-4 conversion you could have that also as I don't need it as it's for that blower. I would remove the motor and sell it and the blower for 5k or just buy the entire car for 5k. I am aware that if I part it out I could get more than 5 k but I just want to get rid of it at this point if I can. Don't have much time to work on it or pull things off etc... With enough money offered I may consider parting it out seperately but idk...
Thanks
Ron
Like I said if anyone wanted to see it let me know and we can arrange it.
p.s. I see you live in SC I could maybe deliver the motor to you for some extra gas money etc... let me know if your interested. But if you bought the entire car you could prolly part out the rest and get at least 2 or 3k to help pay for the motor.

No, like I said It never had a tune done except by myself with lt1 edit to get it to idle good. never did any dyno tuning etc... So a 383 blower car without a tune had trapped at 118 so with some tuning I would think combo would be good for low 11's on drag radials. I showed up at e-town in 95 deg weather, and line was short so I said ehh I'll get one run in then let it cool and ice the intake. I pulled right in line after driving about 1.5-2 hrs there btw lol and ran 12.2 @118 and after run I was making turn and felt a pop in the rearend, so i stopped right there drove it back to CT to the shop I worked at and pulled cover. I blew the spider gears so I then rebuild the rear with either 3.73's or 4.10's i dont remember and a new diff I git from slp I think ? it's been a few years dont remember. I should have just got a 12 bolt but . When I was cleaning the tires I had a little wheelhop before the run, I am assuming thats when the gears got damaged as I didnt have any traction during the run . I'll have to drive to fairfield today and try to get pics so I can post them. do you have a cell number I can send them too with my phone ? as thats how Ill be taking them .
Thanks
Ron H.
p.s. keep in mind the back of car needs repair fron tneeds some repair but not as bad.
when you send me your mobil number Ill drive there and take pics. Just send me P.M.

actually I think i can send to an email add with my phone. Ill try to get the pics tonight

With that combo I would think its about 450-460 rwhp now but with tuning could be more like 500 or more maybe not totally sure

The car is at my grandfathers house about 40 minutes away in his driveway. I can go there I guess and try to take more pics but not sure how much better they will be using my cell phone. Was there any question you had about anything as far as the condition or anything ? the pics i have above are the only ones i have at this time though. If u have a certain request for a specific pic let me know.
Thanks

p.s. The rims were new when i had the accident as were the tires. rear tires have BFGR drag radials on them i believe. Best thing to do with the car I would imagine was pull the drivetrain and install in a roller and sell off everything else unless your good with bodywork. Also the brakes all around have slotted/crossdrilled rotors and high performance brake pads on them.
Thanks

Hey Ron, what crank/rods/pistons do you have in the motor? Is everything forged?

I am very interested and live about 4 hours from you.
Thanks, Jason
