well as of now its still all together, i stopped by my old shop and the tow driver said he knew someone interested and he will give me a call. so right now i'm just waiting for that, if i dont get a call by monday. its getting stripped and WILL be gone Wed morning. However, how far I actually strip it depends... If i know its going to a junkyard, i will have everything out of it...every bolt undone and piece removed, every inch of wiring gone, 1/4 panels cut off, front frame rails cut off too, etc. BUT if someone wants the shell after its done ill leave the unibody intact. Since I couldnt even get $500, I decided I HAD to make my money back and at least break even on this car and the only way would be to part it out. But if i get an offer of $1000, the car can go as it sits, otherwise, every little parts matters. and I'll be honest and say the car is worth at least 3k to me in parts, so id rather part it.

As for a v8 swap, i have no idea how difficult it would be, I assume youd need a V8 k-member, and all wiring. Maybe you could get a carb'd motor to fit(dunno if it would clear the wiper cowl)
