BURLEIGH Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I am looking to buy a new project and am considering shoehorning one of these in it... Also, I will not be needing the stock powerplant so if anyone is looking for a complete engine and tranny from a '69 roadster let me know... Thanks!

hoov100 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 If your up to pay shipping. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/pts/1517121867.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURLEIGH Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Thanks! I think I will try to find one a bit closer for now though... There is one in Nashville for $300 which is a great price, but again the distance is a factor for now. If I can't find one closer to me I will start considering shipping or driving a bit further. Thanks! Richard I'm in NW Arkansas BTW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURLEIGH Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Ill be pissed if you don't do a build thread on this! Well I would love to, but I'll have to ask the mods first as it is not a Zcar and this is a Zcar site... I will definately be documenting the project though!

BURLEIGH Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 RTz: SWEEET, I'll likely be trailering it to the shop this weekend and will start the thread then! Thanks!! deja: Yeah, I saw that one too, but the one in Nashville is a little closer, cheaper and a nicer engine with some aftermarket mods already... Actually, I think I may need to give that guy a call. I'll put an add in the local craigslist wanted section and see if I get any hits, but otherwise I have a feeling I'll be taking a road trip sometime soon! Thanks Guys!

kiwi303 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Just out of morbid curiosity, what RWD trans bolts up to those? 90's and early 00's Holden 3.8 cars... is it time for a group buy from an aussie wrecker for a full container of holden bits? The Commodore S was a RWD 3.8 with an eaton M90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
