I hate putting a price on anothers property, but I would venture to guess, if the body is clean and no bondo, and everything else looks good, I'd have to say 10-12,000.

I bought a Trans Am that is supposed to have a Mark's Performance engine in it. The engine had 1500 miles on it and more than half the lifters had broken retainer rings, the timing chain rubbed the timing cover and after disassembling the block and checking the bores on the block they were out of round and the motor now needs to be line honed and possibly line bored. Is Mark's still in business? I have one of his business cards but the phone number does not work. Maybe it's a old card.

something about the way the front wheel sit in the wheelwell (not centered)looks funny??? how does it track down the road????

on a second look the rear wheels aren't centered in the wheelwells either!!!

I have heard good and bad things about MP's engines. Some people love em, some hate em. I think they still sell quite a few on ebay.

I think the lighting is what makes the wheel look funny. Front wheels always sit back a little in the wheel opening when lowered.

lowrider79 · 08-19-2005, 10:53 PM

Is it a internally balanced 383 or does it have a 400 damper on it?

**tnblazerk5** · 08-20-2005, 06:42 AM

is there a alt on the motor , i cant see one or a place to put one for that matter and is that roll bar welded to the windsheild post i cant see down tubes on the front at the dash ?

and whats up with that heater box ? and the wireing under the hood dont look the best to me and i agree with cliff about the wheels not looking correct in the wheel wells

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-20-2005, 07:14 AM

If that roll bar is welded to the windsheild frame like Rob and I think
it is, that would drop the value for me, JMHO, and I also agree with
just about anything else said above, as far as the wheels being off,
we need some more 2wd pic's for comparison

, it might just be the
result of lowering it that far? I'm gonna say $8500, don't think that I
don't like it / wouldn't have it, I just wonder what else needs fixin?

clean71 · 08-20-2005, 10:03 AM

Here's the pic of the alternator and a couple more pics of the front/side. I agree about the wiring (easy fix though), and the welded in frame is throwing me a little too. Not to big a deal if I was going to track it but if I want to fix it up a little for a dd may be different.
