Default 68 Firebird 400

I am selling my Firebird. I have had it for about 13 years and with my hetic schedule with the kids....it's time for it to go. Here are a couple of links it below. The best it ran with the hydraulic cam was 11.637 at 115.54. It weighs ~ 3,580 (if I remember right). The oil pick up fell off at the beginning of 08. I pulled the motor and check the bearings. All were fine except the #1 had a line in the crank. I had the crank turned to twenty and the motor has sat in front of the car since. I have the bearings; but, never had time to put it back together. I order a custom solid roller from Butler with the correct springs/retainers/keepers. I will list part numbers later. It was in the 250/260 range at 112. I will keep adding the parts as I go through the car. It has been a long time since I have touched it. I am asking $10k.
