they can be fixed for pretty cheap compared to a 4th gen. i dont know if id buy it unless the price is dirt cheap, then drop a lt1 in there.

i think i could it for like 900 is that good? how much would i cost to drop an lt1 in it?

those old v6 f-bodies aren't that all that expensive...I'd offer $500-700 depending on the condition (paint, engine, interior) It has the 2.8L V6 btw so it wouldn't ever be a good performance car

not sure on the cost, should be too bad. local guy has a buddy who dropped a lt1 into his 89 maro and ran like 13.2 @ 104ish totally stock.

I'm sure there is much more than just a motor. I agree that 700 should be the max if it is in good shape. check for rust!!!

yeah.. a few hundred tops...

I vote for carbed 350 swap... cheaper than lt1

I paid $500 for my old '87 2.8, it was in "fair" shape. If that one needs a good deal of work I wouldn't pay too much for it.

i dont quit understand i thot swapping from a v6 to a v8 is worth it . i thot u had to have a new tranny, new rear end, spring shocks all that good stuff

$500 tops...

The 2.8 has no power at all, and the conversion to a V8 is quite expensive. You need lots of parts besides just the engine and trans.
