haven't been on here for a while again...and finally after getting her running decided i'm going to sell her. worst part is that i'll have to sell her as a roller! would u guys suggest just throwing in a stock 302 carbed or sticking with a roller for most money? i have the wiring harness and figured out what the wiring problem was (why i went carb) so i could sell it as an efi roller. idk which to do? i'll be selling her this summer...

Running vehicles generally bring much more cash. Depends on what you have available on hand to make it run. If its going to cost you an arm and a leg to get it moving on its own power than sell it as is, but if you have everything and its your own labor then go for it. Probably pull 1-2k extra off a runner vs. a roller. Why did you swap to carb anyways, I contemplated it long ago and found it was more work than just getting the efi working right...

I couldn't figure out the efi problem for a year and a half. come to find out, it was actually the engine wasn't grounding...so a third grounding strap was installed and it started right up, but i already had the thing switched to carb! I don't have the distributor or other parts to just stick her back to stock, so i'll prob sell with a stock engine if i can find a cheap one...

Carb roller would be sweet for an all out drag shell.. Good starter, as long as the body is in good shape..

Just curious, if it needs a new paint job and steering wheel, what makes it worth 7500 as a roller? I have no clue as there are no pics or description?
