**laserredgt** · 01-28-2009, 05:29 AM

It is a 91 firebird 350ci v8...it was originally a v6 so it has all the basics inside...

I am thinking about buying it but dont know how easy it would be to make it fast...

not too crazy but maybe 13's in the 1/4...

thanks guys

it only has about 20k miles on the new engine

is it an LT1 or LS1? both are strong, just need different mods to make them faster than stock.

yeah, i would say that's pretty damn good for that car. looks to be in good shape i think

At $750 it's not a question it's an answer. Buy it and sell it back for 1500 at the worst

If it was originally a V6, it may have tranny problems now due to the increased torque of that 350.

Its a good looking car though, without a transmission at all, I'd give a grand for it in that condition with that motor.

Buy it, but don't try to make it run with an LS1, unless you plan on spending mega $$$ on upgrades (rear end, tranny, exhaust, engine, etc...).

That car would make an excellent summertime daily driver, IMO.

As far as how fast it is now... we need more info on the specs of that motor. Is it from another GM vehicle, or a crate motor? Need numbers. I'd estimate if that is a GMC truck motor, the car might touch low 15's in the 1/4 mile as she sits right now.

+1 on the tranny problems but for $750 you cant go wrong

**laserredgt** · 01-30-2009, 05:29 AM

+2 for the tranny problems, haha.

Missed out. If you were going to buy it I would have checked the numbers on the engine block. A 305 boat anchor looks identical to a 350 and they can be bought for almost nothing and thrown in a car. Would have been a cheap engine to mod.
