Title: what should i do?
Post by: screamin86 on May 06, 2010, 10:26:25 pm
Well I'm in the process of doin a ls1 swap into my 86 trans am and I'm selling off everything from my 82 trans am. I had started building a 383 for the 82 about a year ago and when I decided I'm gona sell the car and changed my cam and what heads I was gona run and finish the 383 for the truck someday.....well in order for me to finish the motor I need about another $2400 to finish It how I want and I've already got about $1200 or so invested. It will prob be atleast 2-3yrs before I'm able to start on the build again and I've got a brandnew scat stroker crank forged scat rods 7qt pan cam oil pump flewplate virgin 2bolt 350 arp main studs with windage standoffs ect. I don't want the stuff to sit and moister to damage the crank and ruin any other parts. Nothing has been opened its still all wraped in the original boxes and plastic. You guys think I should hold out and keep the stuff or sell it all as a package deal to fund my swap?

Scream how you get that much wrapped in a stroker when you can buy one for about 3k.  To tell you the truth iv been wanting to build one for my truck but I wouldn't want to buy yous cause of how much you have in it.  I would finish the 383 it prob be cheaper if you were to take a lose when you sell it
