New Muscle - need help - 1990 Firebird TA

Just picked up a one owner 1990 Pontiac Trans Am with 26k original miles. It has the 305 v8. Looking for advice on performance and suspension mods. Is anyone here familiar with the car that can offer suggestions?

I am very familiar with these cars and I would say that step one would be to ditch the engine and transmission and do an LS? swap. Best bang for your buck by far.

That would be sweet. What would an approximate cost be of something like this? Keep in mind the car only has 26k original miles and I only paid $7k for it. What would be the best bang for the buck here?

Depends on how far you want to go and how much work you want to do. Best place to look is LS1tech.com and go to the conversion section.
