Current Budget, Future Digit Idea
Okay, my last post in this board stated this, I need a financable Z28 or Formula under 9K... I was well past unsucessfull. However after alittle bit of looking around I saw a 94 Firebird with T-Tops and it was a 5 Speed for $3,100. It's a 3.4 V6 with about 180K miles and this gave me an idea. How's the idea of buying a cheap but running V6 F-Body for no more than 3K regaurdless of milage. How is the idea of getting the car good enough to running conditions to get my dad to and from work, and eventually converting it to a Z28 or Formula by dropping a LT1, LS1 or maybee even a corvette engine in it in the future? wouldn't this be way cheaper because the cost of the car is cheaper and insurance is cheaper? wouldn't it actually be alittle cheaper to drop the block in?
Whats your oppinion? can this be done or should I just keep praying on a underpriced Z?

Anyways, I would just wait for a Z...cause your way would be a lot of time/cussing/pain/green. Good luck with your search

When I said vette engines I meant an LT4 or an LS6, I know they're all 350's but those have alittle more power than an LT1 / LS1
I still can't find any reasonably priced Z's on autotrader. Whenever I find one it's usually gone, or infinancable.
but thanks for the help
