Well after many good years of fun and lots of money, i have talked myself into going for a Terminator.

My car has a built FRPP 302 with 20k, ported/polished gt40x heads, track heat intake, T56 swap, S trim, etc, my dilemma is this, i know with the way the market is now that my car isnt going to pull in anymore than 6-8k tops, the car needs paint but that is it. I am thinking what way would be best, to take the T56 out and put a T5 back in her, and take the blower off and sell the car naturally aspirated. Put the T56 (cobra spec) for sale to someone else as a conversion or as replacement, the T56 has only 2300 miles on it, new clutch new drives haft, i know i could probably get at least 2500+ with the aluminum drive shaft. and could get 1500 for the S trim which was rebuilt back in 2005. The car is lowered, has rear upper and lowers and 3.55's, what do you guys think the best route is? i have all the parts to do this minus the T5, but i can pick one up here, sorry if this is the wrong area but im new to the selling of vehicles and dont want to get burned.

Take the T56 out and offer as a swap with driveshaft your Quoted price 2500+ and the S trim for 1500 then sell as is for 6k or a little more. I would start out a little higher b/c you can always come down you can't go back up. That's what i would do. This way it should give you about 10g to drop as a downpayment or Aid in your purchase whichever way you see to buy a Termy.

Thats what im thinking, i know ill loose my ass if i sell with the blower and tranny, as they are both practically brand new. I just need to find a t5 and ill be g2g and plug the drain hole for the oil return line

take every off... the motor is worth a bundle, so anyone who take that car for 6-8 will be pleased even without the blower and tranny.
