89 firebird is it worth i need everyones opinion!

[triplerc]

okay there is a 89 firebird for 1000.00, says needs work i called and he said just on the exhaust so.. and the body is in good shape, no rust its not leaking from the block,interior is clean and nice, its a v6 so.. what you think?

[devil34]

forget it, save your money and get yourself a v8, you'll regret a v6.... I've had 2 an 88 and a 96 both v8, I'v drivin a few v6's and even a 4 cyl from 83!! it's a big heavy car and the old v6 just can't push it around, besides, with the v8 you get a better suspension and posi rear.....

[triplerc]

well i dont care about the motor ill trash it cuz i got a 350 waiting for it! but other than the motor issue is it a decent price?

[Scott 02]

worth it.

Scrap that idea. Like Devil34 said, you get a Posi rear and better suspension from a factory V8 car. Also, the rear in a V6 has a 7.5'' ring gear, the V8 has a 8.5'' ring gear. Both are ''10 bolt rears'', but different sizes. Can you say KABOOM with V8 power???

i have a spare camaro z28 rear end so that is taken care of as well, wanted a project car ima get it i guess...

Suspension?

You are really willing to do all this work when all you got to do is buy a factory V8 car? A better deal always pops up sooner or later.

Yeah i know, it didn't really make sence to me. i would actually wait after thinking about it.

I got a 91 fb with a v8 (not factory) but definitely better than a v6. you can get firebirds pretty damn cheap just save a lil more.
