oh okay cool 1998Chv yes that sounds like her . I don't know what clutch is in it now man but I had a Monster stage 3 I believe with all Monster components but they may have changed it out since then. Hows the car? If there is anything you want to know please just ask because I built her. Hows the customer 9" rear holding up with the custom drive shaft and half shafts? Did you change out the 4.30 gears by chance? All she needs is a good motor and tranny and you are done man. That rear was about $7500 so it should be good to go for a lot of HP! Cruise control never worked so I don't know whats up with that sorry. Its your car now so if this is her feel free to use any of these pics that you would like. If you ever want to sell contact me 337-319-9259 ty Jim

oh and I did take very good care of the LS6 motor but I don't know about after me obviously and I changed the timing chain to a LS2 as well as the oil pump to LS2 at about 50k. You should have very good oil pressure from what I remember. Think it was ported too if that sounds correct? Thanks for responding too by the way. Make her even more bada** man!! She is one of a kind!!

You took awesome care of the car! The motor is still very strong and runs like a champ. Some issues with the ecu being from a savanna can which I think is from a minor incident with the front bumper and was replaced with that ecu. So it's getting a new ecu also so the tune can be ironed out like it should be. Everything else still works, still has the 4.30s. Got a new mcleoud rxt and flywheel as well as all new bushings and hurst shifter. I'm going to also go 5 lug at some point to get some rubber under the car.

awesome glad to hear it went to a good home. Ya the 6 lug was kind of nuts for those cars, lol. 5 lug has much more options. Cool man post a thread once you start bringing her back to life so we can follow k. ty!
