What would you do with this car?

Looking for a little advice or insight I guess. I recently picked up a 94 Z28 with a bad motor. Head gasket blown and filled oil pan with coolant. The car is in pretty good shape. Underneath is spotless (minus a little grease/oil) but ZERO rust. The body is straight, no big dings or dents. Paint is a good 15ft'r. Looks like someone painted it and its not right by really isn't that bad either. Interior is clean, other than dash pad is cracked in passenger side corner. Transmission was rebuilt less than a year ago with receipts.

My question is, what would sell faster and/or easier? Just replace with bad motor with a good longblock I have sitting here, OR stick my trickflow cylinder heads and LE spec'd camshaft on my good motor. I would have to buy headers for sure, already have a good catback. Would also have to buy a converter.


Im into the car cheap, so either way I should make some money. Is it worth it to put my good H/C/I on to sell or just sell with a replacement motor?

Fix and flip. Keep your parts, they sell easier on their own.

That's a sharp looking car. I'd keep and drive it.

I would like to, but I already have 2 foodies (although my turbo car is in pieces) and have my duster. Plus her car and my truck.

Decisions decisions haha

I wouldn't put H/C on it unless you plan on keeping it. Modding the car is a bad investment.

I would have to pull the top end of and see if it is ruined and take the pan off With the motor in the car and and clean it up and replace the oil pump and put the pan back on. If you heads are on the car are not ruined I would change the head gaskets. That way the car has increased value or you can use it for daily driver. Even if the heads are bad you can pick up a good set of stock for a couple hundred.

You will not get more if you put those good parts on it. Just fix and flip.
