I would be careful in buying a car that someone has modded out with out seeing reciepts and warranty and stuff like that for the parts because you never know if they did the work right.

well doesnt quite feel like it has a 306, nor does it idle rough like it has a cam...i guess it depends on the cam he put in? he said it had edelbrock heads...how can i know if any of this stuff is true? im guessing rip apart the motor but i dont wanna do that. Maybe race someone who has the same setup or close? or even stock to see how far i take off on em? :-( regardless car runs reallly good and is a notch, very clean, ill have pics by tomorrow night!...ps im selling my 86 gt in case anyone wants a bone stock caar! pm me for specs/price/pics! (yes i know start a new thread, im going to sleep) lol
