91 GMC Vandura with 350?? good donor?

I have an 89 GTA minus engine and trans. I've got the original shifter and driveshaft.
I've got a chance at picking up a cheap 91 GMC vandura... would it be a good candidate for a donor, or should I keep looking?

Re: 91 GMC Vandura with 350?? good donor?

personally i would find a differnt tranny. thats a heavy vehicle and theres no tellin what kind of abuse that things seen. and depending on what kind of #s your goin to be pushing will depend on the tranny you want. check around the board and see what other people have to say. also ask five7kid he knows his stuff... hope that helps ya
