It has to be a motor from a newer car and you have to have all of the smog equipment from the donor car for it to be legal.

not yet lol I got side tracked with trying to buy a house and put my swap on hold. All that is left is install clutch, and trans. Pedal assembly and all necessary holes are already there. I need to install the prom also, install the pulley belt, put fluids and start the car. But I am going to work on it this sunday so hopefully i get it started then if not get most of it finished.

But back in the 80's they weren't called mullets. It was the 90's that made them funny, because the guys were still sporting old hair cuts.

Damn, he has the same Intake plenum that I had on my 383. I missed that thing!

I like IROCs that have the headlight (or tool bench, as I like to refer to them) area painted black, as they came from the factory.

I guess the only reason I am thinking about selling it is I want to have a nice car to drive right now...I think it will take a good 6 months to get this car running, and maybe another year to paint it and fix it up... or I could just sell it all and use that as a down payment on a nice 98-02 SS or something.
