Power/Price estimates?
 

Hey guys,
I've got a bunch of parts thrown into my 90 LX 5.0. It's a drop top green Automatic w/ a white top. I'd like to hear some RWHP estimates for this guy. It's been sitting in my garage for about a year, and I've run into some personal issues that may possibly force me to part with it. Here's what's in it...

Trick Flow Street Heat Manifold
T.F. Twisted Wedge Heads
1.6 Roller Rockers
Trick Flow Stage 1 Cam
FMS Timing Chain
FMS Harmonic Balancer
Intake Manifold Spacer
MSD Distributor
A/C Eliminator Kit
FMS 3.73 Ring and Pinion
B&M Holeshot Converter 2800 Non lock up.
BBK Shorty Equal Length Headers (Polished Ceramic)
H-Pipe with High Flow Cats
Subframe Connectors
Pulleys.

The total price of all these parts are $4,465 U.S.
(That price includes a P.I. Stallion torque converter that is sitting in a box. It comes with the package. It's also a 2800 non lock up. It's in the box because I had taken it to a trans shop and they told me it was bad so I had it replaced with the B&M converter...Only to find out that the problem was not fixed at all. The torque converter was not the problem)

THERE IS A PROBLEM with the vehicle. It shakes/vibrates in 3rd gear. I'd like to sell the Car AS IS.

I have reciepts for all of this and more (gaskets and other misc. things.)

What would be a good price to sell it for?

welcome to the money pit - selling a car with driveability problems can only de-value the car unfortunately. It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Have you put an aluminum drive shaft in it to be sure it's not a balance problem with the shaft? How about checking the balancer to see if it has spun on the hub?

I might have to make myself take a look at it. I've had lots of fun in the past with this car, but it's time for me to part with it.

I definatley forgot to mention that it's bored out. It's a 308. The engines rebuilt. New Main/rod bearings. All of it. It also has a fresh oil pan, and TransGO shift kit. Anyone else?

What do you think I could ask for the car if it was running well?

Unfortunately for you it is hard to sale a Fox vert as it is. A Fox vert with driveability issues wont be an easy sale at all.

I would say 3500-4200 dollars is all you would be able to get.

As far as HP goes, with the auto tranny you are probably making 280-290 RWHP.

I would fix it and stick it on Ebay with a reserve price. You would reach a much larger audience that way and might find a vert lover.

Good luck,
