      sure..rip out the rarest part and then hack it even worse.

      I like this..almost truthful:

      3.8 Litre V-6 Turbo ( a $550.00 option )
      wow.
      550 dollar option.

      I like when these show up..reminds me of my pontiac 301...not in a firebird turbo, but a delta88.

      or the HO 305 (flat pistons small chambered heads) in my 1984 grand prix LE.

      I even found the madness on old subarus.

      wherever the assembly line finishes off apparently.

      the blo thru carb stuff gets me going. I recently found a italian weber 32/34, designed from factory, called DMTT to be turbo blo through..also 1980-81..old stuff now.

      cost? 600 dollars.(I am just crazy enough to buy it)

      that is more than the whole 3.8 v6 in the wrong place.

        That's the car I'm talking about, though I'm looking for one with a floor shifter and a center console..........

        As for ripping the V6 out, that is a given, it's just going to get replaced with a twin turbo small block............

            I know this will make people turn in their graves, but I'd take a number matching Yenko Camaro and tub it if I had the means of getting my hands on one.............Rare or not if it serves my purpose I'm gutting it..........

                t/c it's easy enough to find buckets and consoles...from SS cars.. the bench seat cars will be in better shape for less money..
                as the bucketseat cars are mostly beat.. and if not. are not gonna be cheap..

                  my 85 monte with bench was pretty clean except the frame rails had weld up new ones.

                  made a profit on it though a guy wanted it for a SS clone. i sold it with no engine or trans for $1200 lol i bought it for $400

                    No one would turn in their grave because it would never happen.

                            I've been busy building another car and trying to have it at Gainesville in Feb. We have to order a couple drums of nitro sometime after Thanksgiving. So I was thinking I should wait until after then, that way I already have it running, I only have a gallon or so right now and it's not really worth trying anything with that little.

                              and your build threads are where? you ask enough questions to have like 8 cars running by now.
