A guy that lives in my city is considering ixing his 96 z28 with a snapped timing chain and then trading it for my car. I told him I would not trade into a car that wasnt running. He said that perhaps he had piston and valve damage. Is there anything els I should be asking about besides the piston and valve damage? Also do you think its worth it to trade a 96 LT1 with 40 k mileage and really nice paint and rims and such for a 98 firebird 3.8? Considering it but not sure if its worth while. His is modde too =) got a hotcam and some other goodies.

so most likely its not worth it to trade my 98 55k mileage firebird with no problems, for a z28 with issues. Ill go look around at the dealerships then hehe.1998 Firebird 3.8, A4<br />Mods: Alum Ds, Yank TC 2800 stall, Rksport lid, FTRA, SLP air temp sensor, K&N, Flowmaster catback 2.5\" w/cutout, 3:42 gears w/LSD<br />Best E/T: 15.6 @ 86 mph (w/o gears / lsd or verter)<br />Best 60: 2.234<br /><a href=\"http://www.teamfoxfire.iwarp.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.teamfoxfire.iwarp.com</a> -- club site<p>To come?: l67 piston package hardened, turbo? spray? low 12\'s? well see
