The previous owner put those on. It has them on the side to. But I decoded the vin and it says it is an RS.

Probably not. I have to go back this summer to get the parts for my car. I will have the old engine out though and will be repainting the engine bay flat black. I may be doing the swap around then though. I hope you don't mind working in the extreme heat with no A/C.

Well I have no idea where the York club is. I also may be leaving because keep in mind that the gringos flea the country in the summer here.

jump in a cab and tell the driver to take you to the york hotel. take about $250 with you, you'll need it. $50 for drinks, and well $200 for... you get the picture. You'll be glad you did it in the long run.

get headers for that engine. Might as well do it while you have it out because you will surely want them later. Good luck. I helped put a 327 in an 87 trans am and it was getting the battery real hot and not running good. The only thing it was, was the motor was not grounded to the car. Make sure when you put that engine in, you put a ground from the block to the firewall.
