I may regret this (4 eyed notch inside)

acmillr · September 7th, 2007, 06:10 PM

I just paid $800 for this beautiful bucket. Maybe we can make it run.
1985, 302, carburetor, T-5

Motor is in great shape, but this tranny is on it's way out. How much am I looking at for another T5 or what other options do I have?

HMUSN · September 7th, 2007, 06:33 PM

that's a steal man.

people sell complete t-5s for like $400.00 man

You'll regret nothing I'm guessing.

Drick · September 7th, 2007, 07:43 PM

No regrets there man if you do have a regret ill give you $810 and send it up to Michigan whats not to like in that deal

Speedstang302 · September 7th, 2007, 08:31 PM

all i say is loose the GT ground effect..draglite..new paint...and finish up that motor and get new T5 and your talking bout $3500-4000 for what its worth with decent int. and under 150k on it..not bad for $800

MSO · September 7th, 2007, 08:47 PM

And if you plan on doing anything else to the car performance wise, i would go ahead and invest in a better transmission.

Considering what you paid, you will still be ahead if you buy a good used Tremec.

acmillr · September 7th, 2007, 10:47 PM

Actually, I've been wanting a notch for a while. I was already planning on getting the GT ground effects off. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with the car yet. I just thought it was a decent deal and picked it up. I'm thinking I might sell the 302 and the T5 so I can cram a 460 in there with a C4 or C6 to back it up.
