87 Trans-am down, 94 firebird in works..

Builds
1

Well I totaled the 87 trans-am - once a clean car now just a pile of $hit…
Thanks to the guys at JJ’S for a decent transplant firebird… Gonna transplant the 406,t56,narrower 10 bolt and 7730 ecm wiring to the 94…
Awaiting craddle/headers currently, then pretty much soon as running will be off to paint shop - found a guy to throw some paint on cheap…
Not sure about color yet, either keep it white or go Red or Silver… Kinda leaning red right now… Any input?

Hope it to be back in the 10s in the new shell… gonna look just like an LT1 with the mini ram intake with exception of distributer…

So what happened to the old one? I saw a decent looking white one when I was at JJs up top, that one? Mine white so I vote no to white, just too plain on these cars, did t-tops to help offset it some.
