I am stuck between 2 choices. I am being told by many that since its a 82 t-top notch with factory 5.0, 4 speed manual, and black on black with no options but cruise control its probably a 1 of 1 car. Heres want a wanted to do. Make a nitrous 408 or 514 Drag car with 82 Gt nose and air dam or just a stroked 460. But would it be better to return this all to factory as it has the factory engine but was converted to C4. It still has the clutch pedal and cable. I don't see how its really gonna be worth that much anyway in it origional form.

Have fun with it. Keep every stock part you can. The car probably is one of one(CC and no other options?) but it still won't be worth money for some time.

Put the original engine in the corner and go 408 on NOS. This way, you can convert back to the 5.0 if you deside too without many signs of alterations. You might even find the correct TROD trans while it's out.

IMO I wouldnt use a t top car for a street/strip monster even with sfc in it just because it has no roof to keep the body from flexing. No matter what, it is going to flex and those t-tops are gonna leak with that much power. I say leave it stock!

You think they would flex too much with a roll cage?

i agree 408 with a lot of spray. the guy who built my 347 had a 408 with spray running 5.50's in the 1/8th

347 with a TKO, 3:73 8.8 5 lug conversion Terminator Rims, coilover suspension, 6pt cage, rear seat delete, full length subframe connectorsGT airdam W saleen side skirts and rear diffuser, black paint caynon red interior

nay on the red interior, I hate it. I am gonna do the 347 in the black 86 GT. I am really just wondering if I should restore it to origional as its 1 of a kind, or drag it which means roll cage proably a mini tube and of course tubular k with coil overs
