Engine is rebuilt. Just need a carb, exhaust and the all the orignal ram air parts.

I still have not decided on the color. Red is the leader so far.
I was going to do the Orbit orange, but there is a local guy with one and it looks too yellow in the sunlight and I am not a fan of yellow as a main color.
I need to order a full suspension upgrade kit this week. Detroit speed, Ride Tech or Hotchkiss are some. Taking suggestions. Most likely coil overs all the way around.
Should be about a 2" drop over factory.

Which Ram Air parts? RA3, RA4 or the rare RA5? I had the RA4 heads on my 78 TransAm. And a set of fully ported RA5 heads in the box.

I have the 6X heads. RA3 is the build I am going for . The others are too expensive, given the returns. This is not completely stock, but I am going for period correct parts.

Had a complete SD455 motor that I was going to drop in my TransAm. Decided to drop in a 465HP 454 LS7. Ran that for a few months before a tree fell on the car. :shakes head:

Oh Crap. Sorry to hear about the car. Do you still have the car and the 455?

Car was gone in 1984. The 455SD motor, and a Stage V hemi heads and other parts for a 426 hemi were sold in 1985. Wish I could have kept them.
