1988 GT.. has a rebuilt .030 over stock 5.0 with forged pistons and new blah blah blah.. TKO 3550 trans, rebuilt 3.73 rear end.. drivetrain is pretty new. Interior looks good, all stock. Exterior needs some help, but in good shape overall. Ill be trolling the classifieds looking for parts and tips..

Been on this board for a long time... came from Norcal-LSX and LS1.com back when i had my 99 Camaro. Didnt have a performance car for years.. later bought an 02 Lightning.. now onto this 5.0..

Like it a lot. I'm one of the few here that favor 87-93 GT over all other foxes. [Big Grin]
