> [@janaka](#): > > The Trans Am could be of interest, however I’m thinking the wife would prefer one less car to go out east with. HKE built 408 with stage III heads dyno’d 530whp with a fast 90/90, but currently has a ported ls6/ls6 combo. Built 6 speed from 6 speed inc, full BMR suspension with frame connectors, black leather, navy blue exterior, build 10 bolt rear with 4.10s, needs the front bumper painted and some misc stuff. I’d have to have the car shipped because I’m in Houston anyways. 😉 ---
