There is alot out there if you want help looking I know an awful lot of people. just give me an idea what you are looking for and what you wanna spend [http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/1121939104.html](http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/1121939104.html) \ **Author:** ![slomaro3.4](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/s/b19c9b/32.png) [@slomaro3.4](https://forums.speedlife.net/u/slomaro3.4)\ **Post date:** [April 16, 2009, 5:05pm UTC](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/first-drag-car/202464/22 "2009-04-16T17:05:06Z") Ya, just got back from checking out the 88’, I was unimpressed to be honest, the engine and tranny were bomb, but everything else was kinda just old and shot, suspension was decent, and a spray bomb paint job, I’m very tempted to just throw a 327 at my 94 and see what happens. ---

alright, bigblock, you’ve seen my car if you remember it, and ya, I know this is a stupid question, but would you trade it straight up for an 88’ camaro, with a 350 v8, 700r4 tranny(those have like 10,000 on a rebuild) newish suspension, those have struts, the paint is just garbage, and I would keep my interior. ---

hard to say. why is guy wanting to trade you for your car? with your car being hard top i would convert it to v8 IMO. doa budget truck motor lsx swap. will be more driveable and have loads of parts availability. ---

I’m not really sure why he wants rid of his, said it was too loud or something, while i would love an lsx swap, I’m leaving for school in august, and I dont know if I would be able to pony up the 2500 for parts, this would be said and done. I drove it today, and the thing punches hard. How do you feel about just a 350 small block, its bored out to a 355 i think. ---
