Okay, i recently acquired an '05 vette, so i'm considering selling the silver 1997 TransAm for my new project. I'm curious as to if there would if it would be worth it to sell as a whole or to part out.
The motor is a 355 lt1, only about 2.5k miles on the motor since rebuild (all parts only have about 2.5k miles on them). the car has 135k miles on the odometer. Most mods listed in sig, but will try and list them all again here.
the heads are the Lloyd Elliot LE3 package and the cam is the LE2: (info from site: http://www.eportworks.com/lt1.html)
Heads & cam package will pull from 2,600–6,800 RPM and should make *410 - 430 RWHP with 36/42 lb. injectors, 58 MM T.B. or Monoblade, GOOD tuning, etc. This will idle similar to the GM847 but make about 10 more HP at peak and starts making HP sooner than the GM847. Requires 4.10 gears & 3,000 (or more) stall for best results.
The LT1 LE3 heads consist of:
Larger valve seats installed in Heads
2.05/1.60 Valves
Comp Bee Hive Springs
Titanium Retainers & 10° Locks
208 CC Intake Port
Milling, Cleaning, Assembly
Flow About 280/195
cm retainers & 10 degrees locks
Bronzeliners
I have 37# Delphi injectors with the walbro 255 pump and pump kit fit for the F body. The intake was also ported by LE. I have the AS&M 58mm polished aluminum throttle body. Valvetrain includes 1.6 ProMagnum Rockers, Morel lifters, Comp Cam Magnum Push Rods, Cloyes Double roller timing chain. Includes an OBDI pcm tuned by Ion at MadZ28.com. I am running the Jet Hot Long tubes and that has x-pipe setup with dumps before the axle. Will also include the 3" JetHot coated y-pipe (brand new) if someone prefers a different setup. The car also has a Meziere electric water pump (http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog/?action=vshop&vid=4&pcid=5) along with a brand new opti and new NGK plugs with Taylor 8mm custom fit wires and brackets to route around the headers along with plug boots for protection from the heat. The radiator is brand new with brand new Good Year tubing throughout. has a 160* T-stat and never moves over that, even in the florida heat. The oil pump is a brand new pump with the higher pressure spring.
Drivetrain includes, but not limited to, McLeod Street Twin Clutch with McLeod Clutch Master Cylinder (found here: http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog/?action=vshop&vid=4&pcid=72 w/ steel flywheel for $1300). Custom fit "Nitrous Ready" driveshaft from Denny's driveshafts w/ 1350 yoke.(http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/html/nitrous_ready.html). BMR Full length Adjustable Torque Arm (http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodySuspension.htm) and welded in BMR box Sub Frame Connectors. Includes the Pro 5.0 shifter and a Moser 12 bolt with 4.10 gears and all the upgrades, 33 spline w/ 1350 yoke (http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog/?action=vshop&vid=4&pcid=66)
the body and interior have remained untouched over the years, so definitely starting to show its age in some places. the plastic front and back bumper are faded. only damage is to the right rear quarter panel with a small dent near the tail light. starts perfectly and sounds extremely mean with its slow lopey sound.
also has brand new ac pump and lines.
again, the whole setup was put together all at once about 2 years ago and is/was not my daily driver and has only about 2.5k miles on all parts at most. the car has been garage kept for the last 4 years. I sold my f250 for my vette that i have now, so i think my new speed funds are going to be going to that car now.
I want to start off with an asking price of $10k and see what that gets me. will consider best offer (if i can do that on this site). If needed, I can probably produce receipts on 95% of the parts installed, including heads and cam.
I'll also snap some pictures of it tomorrow if i get any interest.
