Looking for Advice

[GMtech08]

So i have a 1996 Firebird with a 3.8 series II the car is not in the best shape but pretty good for 500 dallors i have been inside the motor with a full rebuild and it runs really good but i can not decide if i should try to sell this car and buy one 98 or newer of course a V6 because its way to much fun beating people and opening the hood to show off the six pack mainly just wondering what peoples ideas are on the body styles?

Re: Looking for Advice

hell keep the car and just do a front clip swap and tail light swap to either the LT1 tails or 98+

Re: Looking for Advice

if you do a search on here it should come up there. if not, check ls1tech and search, its been done many times on 93-97s.

Keep the pre-98 body style and use the money you would spend on the front clip to mod it! That's what I would do!

The nice thing about that conversion is that GM never painted any 98-02's DPG.

So its kind of a one of car.

I'd 2nd that. The 1993-1997 body style was the Firebird at its sleekest. If you look at the profiles of the 93-97 bumper to bumper with the 98-02 model, the 93-97 looks lower, longer (especially Trans Am front bumper), and sleeker.

Use the money for mods!

Having owned a 95 V6 Bird as my DD and a 94 TA as my Drag car and now a 2001 V6 Bird as the DD and a 99 TA as my Drag car,I prefer the later models curvy look.

They still look modern to me,the pointy beaks are showing their age. JMHO
