Gaaad... I want that. I dont know why he listed as a 95 and 97. Dont like the hood... But I just want that for the power.
Too bad I dont have 30 grand for it... I dont think its worth that much... but its definitly a bitchin car and Id rock it.

Couple problems with that description that I picked up- couple things didn't make sense to me
1.) 4.060 bore and 3.75 stroke give you 396 cubes not 383..you would think he would know that..
2.)I-beam rods are usually only good to around 500hp, maybe 550. After that you want a set of H-beams- if he's making 650hp, I wouldn't trust those rods for too long, build it right, build it once.
3.) Says Pacesetter long-tubes, but clearly the headers are mid-length.
4.) Says the intake was ported to accept a monoblade 58mm TB, which nobody makes, they are twin-blade
Thats what I picked up just quickly briefing over it. I'm sure the car is nice and all, but the people he is trying to sell to are going to pick up on the same things I did. He should have been a little more careful in his description I think, and add some more pictures for the money he is asking. For $30,000 I'm sure he can afford the $1 to post a few more pics..

yeah joe i was going to mention the same stuff, except...
1) the dimensions he gave are a 388 or so. a 396 has a 4.060 bore and a 3.825 stroke.
2) with the hooker 3" exhaust and a flowmaster 40 muffler...and borla tips. doesnt make sense there.
3) why doesnt the AC blow cold. shoulda fixed it if you dumped that much into it.
4) ATI twin intercooled setups are for LS1s.
and with only two pics i'd be suspicious. although the guy knows his stuff, expecially his f-body specific stuff so it might be legit.

ok well its legit, the guy just doesnt know his stuff. this pic proves its not a monoblade:
and this proves its not a twin intercooled setup:
and this proves hes gay...euros!!! :
but by cruising his site i can tell most of it is legit, but why would you sell it with all that invested? he wont get 30k.
