Vehicle description
This is a great project car for someone. Nearly complete and selling at a steal to move it fast. First $2250 OBO gets it. Car includes: 1989 305 V8 1989 700 r4 trans needs rebuilt Summit stage 2 intake Holley 415-0650 double pumper carb 0.477 7, new HEI distributor, shorty headers, Summit electric fuel pump with external regulator, new rebuilt suspension and steering, new steering gear box, new brakes, Monroe air shocks on rear, new Futura Super Sport p235 - 6 0 - 1 5 tires, 4 Cragar SS 3 15 x 7 Wheels, 4 inch cowl induction hood Steel, Patriot 60 in side pipes, new front fender, new racing style bucket seat with six point camlock harnesses, no rust Notes from the builder: The transmission in it right now is a 700 R4 out of a ’89 Firebird that came with the engine. While it did move, the clutches are pretty smoked and the transmission needs to be rebuilt. I am not a big fan of the 700 R4, even though a lot of folks swear by them. The spare transmission you get in the purchase is supposed to be a Turbo 350 from a ’76 Camaro. Doesn’t much matter, it is a short tail TH350. The transmission overhaul kit and shift kit that are in the back seat area are for this transmission. You can either rebuild it yourself or have the kit installed by a professional. The transmission may in fact work without it but I didn’t want to go to the trouble to swap it over and then find it needed a rebuild. Just better to start with something fresh. In order to use this transmission with this car and engine combo you will need to replace the flex plate (needs replacement anyway since there are a couple of damaged teeth) and the torque converter (which you also need to replace anyway since you want to always want to use a new converter with a rebuild). I suggest getting with the folks at Summit. They have excellent tech folks. The flywheel is 10 ¾” and the torque converter will need to match this. It will actually give you a little more stall speed. There is a chance that it will need a slightly longer driveshaft but you won’t know until you actually install the transmission. This is really the biggest question but not very difficult or expensive to deal with. You will also need a new shifter since the current shifter works with a 4 speed automatic. Now if this makes your head spin you could simply rebuild the 700 R4 and go with everything that is already there. Be careful when you adjust the TV cable and everything usually works just fine. As far as the motor, it runs well. I did have an issue of the accelerator pump linkage binding sometimes when it wasn’t started regularly. Just a matter of taking time to adjust it properly. All lights work but you need to install a headlight relay to take some load off the switch. The horn doesn’t function until the actual wire through the column is located and connected to the relay (which is hanging down under the dash). The windshield wipers work but need a new wiper motor. The one I have (which came with the car) isn’t right for this car. Once a new one is installed and the linkage is hooked up it will be ready to go. A couple of more things. The back hatch needs to be tightened down before you hook up the struts. I loosened it to adjust its fitment and just didn’t have the time to tighten the bolts. The struts for the hood need to be changed to ones for a steel hood. Pep Boys has them in stock and they are about 45 dollars if I remember correctly. Also, I suggest going to hood pins. I tried making adjustments to get the stock system to work but it drove me crazy.
