What is up with all the automatics? Find one with a T56 and we'll talk.

Mainly because I have all auto parts around

I have this triple disc 3800 converter waiting to go into one

Nah I just sanded the **** out of the driver side fender and beat it with a hammer and dolly out of rage.

85k miles? DAMN

Most stuff looks fixable. ie.. fender and interior

Going to see if i can jew him down

I wouldn't pay more than junkyard price for that. Teenager car=beat to hell.

I'll take a gander at it.

From the pics it looks like a mess

Looked at an 81 Firebird tonight

 

[Manbearpig]

Get ahold of yourself Tyler! We're going to bring this Formula back from hell no matter what! Wouldn't be project HelLSX for nothing!

I'm guessing the 81 is a driver right now?

 

[Manbearpig]

If it had tires I'm sure I could have driven it

Guy stuck a battery in it and fired it right up. Held idle

Being an 81 and that it didn't have a turbo I'm going to guess it was the 4.3L V8

But then again it have a front distributor. So Buick motor perhaps?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_small-block_engine

The 1975–1976 262 was a 262 cu in (4.3 L) 90° pushrod V8 with an iron block and heads. Bore and stroke were 3.67 in (93 mm) by 3.10 in (78.7 mm). Power output for 1975 was 110 hp (82 kW) and 195 lb·ft (264 N·m) at 3600 rpm. The 262 was replaced by the 305 for the 1977 model year.

This was Chevrolet's second 4.3 L-displacement powerplant; three other Chevrolet engines displaced 4.3 L: the Vortec 4300 (a V6 based on the Chevrolet 350, with two cylinders removed), the original 265 V8 in 1955, and a derivative of the GenerationII LT engines known as the L99 (using the 305's 3.736-inch bore, 5.94-inch connecting rods, and a 3-inch crankshaft stroke).

This engine was used in the following cars:

1975–1976 Chevrolet Monza
1975 Chevrolet Nova
Early 1977 Pontiac Ventura

Ahhhh....thanks C4. Now that you throw out the cu in. numbers I do remember those. I liked it better when back in the day we knew motors by cubic inches rather than these liter numbers....
