Well ive been looking around for a street/strip car and came across a 1977 trans am black on black special edition, it came with a 403 and a turbo 350 , the original engine is messed up ( not sure what though), comes with purchase.. so they put in a new oldsmobile 455 , stock transmission is slipping he says, but has new turbo 400 never installed, he bought all this stuff for a project car but cant finish it, it supposed to be very straight and would take a easy paint job only 1 rust spot was a california car , so i get both engines 1 bad 1 good... 2 trans 1 bad 1 good.. new carb, new water pump, fuel pump, distributor, and edelbrock intake.

question is what do i need to look out for?

what would it cost to rebuild a turbo350?

going to look at it tomorow morning and gunna take pictures..

im looking to have a clean street car, not a frame off restoration, want a nice interior , nice paint job original look of t/a and a solid 400hp/400tq

thoughts any1????
