Geez, didn't see until now you guys brought my thread back. I got a lot of plans but little money, so not sure what all I am going to do. My plans drastically changed this past weekend when I purchased a 81 Trans Am "Special Edition" Turbo Trans Am Body. Basically looks just like the bandit car, black, t-tops, tan interior, loaded. But it was just the tub, no suspension or drive train. Good thing is the interior was all there and mint, body is 100% rust free and really straight.
SO when I get a little most cash together and get my current project done, I am going to start on this new one. Planning on using the suspension, rear end and front clip from my 79 for it, and a 383 stroker and th350 tranny.
I still may do the LS1 swap, but I need to actually purchase the motor from my dad before I can use it, and since I baught this new car and been working on my fiero a lot, I spent a huge chunk of the money I was going to use to put the LS1 in.
Although I took on more work it will be nicer in the end and I'll get the car I wanted. I always wanted a Bandit Trans Am, and now I can build one, finding a rust free t-top body was hard though.
Probally be summer before I start it though, got lots of things to do and I really need to get my fiero on the road and running first, as its been dead in my garage for 9 months now, and half ripped apart. Now only if I can get the rest of my parts back from powdercoating. :rolleyes:

Never said it could not be done just said it will be a mess.....Is it me or is this site terribly judgemental?
Also the LS1 swap is one of the easiest I think, someone make mounts for my car, painless makes the harness, and I know someone that can retune the computer for me, seems easy enough to me. The most work to me would be running the fuel system and ac system.

I don't consider myself judgmental, just extremely opinionated.
