looks like a MAF, but the rest of the motor appears to be stock. I would try to get a closer picture.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Do I spy a MAF? The seller claims it has a mild cam; I wonder if it has an HO conversion?



he said its a turbocoupe, so im guessing its more of a HO v8 swap then a HO conversion

Actually, he said it was the same body style as the Turbo Coupe. The window trim and door handles are chrome, not black.
