FOR SALE Reduced - $2500 - needs engine work or a short block, don't have the time and ran out of patience (sp?)

There is a vid clip of the exhaust Here

A little info on the intake swap. I am replacing the stock tpi intake with a modified LT1 intake. LT1 intakes make power to over 6000rpm where the TPI intake was only good to about 4000rpm. The problem with LT1 intakes is that the LT1 cars did not run a traditional distributor and they had no provision for a thermostat. So the intake had to be drilled for the distributor and I will have to run a remote thermostat.

Couple new pics, from a cell so not great quality though :(

I believe there were only about 80 Gunmetal grey GTA's made in 1990. So probably less than 10 were sold in Canada.

When this car is finished (for this season) it will be powered by a sbc 350 engine with a comp cam, crane gold rockers, race heads, LT1 intake, 28lb injectors and more.

The exhaust will exit through a set of edelbrock 1 5/8" TES headers wich will be connected to a 3" Pacesetter TSX catback exhaust with cat delete.

To get the power to the wheels it will have a 3000-3600 rpm 10" torque converter mounted on a new 700r4 trans with a trango shift kit and B&M shifter. To help get this car moving it will have a set of motive 3.70 gears in the rear end.
