Default Project scrap yard

So me and a buddy were bringing in his dads old blazer when this thing showed up at the yard and we were instantly wanting it not having a clue what it was, we are sponsored by the yard for derby vehicles so getting parts for anything we need cost us nothing, so we talked to the owner and he let us bring this thing home, whoever built it put in alot of work to let it go to a scrap yard,
All i know so far is its an 89 4 door, manual , 231 but has some sort of v6 and it runs needs work still so this will be the summer project as of now
Sorry if this isnt fab but figured itll be moved if needed

Nice find. This should probably be in the build thread. I'm sure a mod will come along and move it.

Depends on who gets it.

I dont mind moving every once in awhile. Locking doesnt solve much.

Ya the rear end will not be staying , whoever built it used ready rod and bent it into ubolts and the whole rear end doesnt sound very good when you spin it, still trying to figure out what the motor is out of some sort of 6 liter

6 liter or V6? I bet its the GM v6 that they use to put into XJ's in the 80's. I think the 2.8 or something
