For anyone wanting a project i’d sell my no rust 95 SS as a roller(insert drivetrain of choice) for $950 with all my extras.  Already has 150mph z28 cluster conversion, PMT extended trailing arms and mmc driveshaft plus blazer/bravada floor shift conversion.  It’s a running driving car right now but I want my LS1 for the Datsun.  I pioneered the ford p71 aluminum/mmc driveshaft swap for extended control arms, so you can own a piece of history because a bunch of guys took my info and now have the same driveshaft

Bummer. Great deal. But to get a car from t hat distance with no motor - wouldn't work for me. Hope it goes to a good home :)

In reply to Patrick :

Does that include the transmission?  To me roller means no engine or trans,  but you only mentioned wanting to keep the LS1.

Transplanting the engine and trans into the datsun.  If someone wanted to put an LS back in it and was a grm person, i’d be inclined to leave the s&p ls swap harness with the car as well as the ebay stainless camaro headers.  I bought it as a roller about 8 years ago for $1400.  Crossmember is clearanced for the camaro oil pan.  I probably have $3500 in the rolling car but you can’t break even on all of them.  And i’d rather see it go to someone here who will put it together than some shark who would part it out

I haven't seen an SS yet. Plenty of sunburnt Caprices, though.

 

Patrick, you should just sell me the SS with the LS in it. :)

Cars at that mileage are going for 15-22k$

Somebody needs to buy a wagon and clone an SS out of it.  Sure it's been done.  I just haven't seen it.

Hi Curtis, I have a 94 caprice and I wanted to ask you a few questions about some things ive just had done (and maybe later on about things im thinking about doing if thats ok?)

I just had a a reconditioned optispark put in, and after they put it in they put DEXCOOL in without asking me what I wanted first (I had the regular green antifreeze in it before)......you think it will be ok with DEXCOOL in there??

The gaskets they used for the water pump,and crankshaft are FELPROs btw

 

Thank You

WO

Looks like you're a brand new forum member. I think you need some posts and or time under your belt before being able to send PMs IIRC.
