Got a little more info about the car from the PO's mechanic/ex-friend. Seems he was promised "X" amount of money if the car sold for a certain price, but was never paid. Not my issue, but he was very forthcoming with details about the car.
Original engine was taken out, set aside and "fresh" '91 roller motor went in. Added a small cam, 175 shot of nitrous, 3.73's and subframe connectors, and then went racing, running a best of 7.0x in the 1/8th. Car was wrecked in the front (slow speed broadside with a lady in a Chevy sedan), necessitating the new front end and repaint. Almost got an LSx conversion, but decided to sell the car instead. Right after this decision, the stock T5 went boom, replaced with a 4 cylinder T5 that is still in the car (1st gear is nearly useless with the 3.73's). Original engine was set on stand, all new gaskets added, along with a new water pump and a fresh set of E7 heads, then put back in the car, and that is how she sits as of today. According the the mechanic, it was originally bought by a guy in West Texas, then sold to the mechanic, then sold to the PO, then to me, so that makes me owner #4. Always good to get some history about the car, I guess! LOL!
