Hey Guys,
I'm looking at a ZD30 Auto with a new engine.
1. Is it worth while?
2. What are the Auto Boxes Like?
3. What should I watch out for?
Cheers,

most likely the engine has been replaced because its gone boom and the problem is the new ones aren't guranteed not to do the same thing.
the Auto box behind the ZD30 is the same as the one behind the TB45 and is similar in design to the older TB42 one. they are ok.

Thanks for the reply's.
The original block would have been an 01' but I dont know if the it has a new engine block now or if they just rebuilt the original, wasn't there something about the early ZD30 heads or blocks being porous as well?
