Here it is:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2437811493
Any thoughts, tips, flames, etc...? I just wanted something fun for under $4000, and this seemed to fit the bill better than anything else I've come across in a month of looking. I do wish it was an n/a FC and not a turbo II that he hacked up, but other than that I think ~350rwhp and loads of torque should be fun!
Now I just need to learn about carburators...

Yeah carb is not ideal, but I figure you can't beat a fairly clean, completed V8 project with new wheels and tires and suspension mods for $3800...

eh, at least it wasnt a TII that got parted out like alot of them do.
keep us informed as to how it runs and drives.
You will learn a carburator in no time, its a piece of cake.
