well I picked up a 98 Z28 yesterday.. Had a 2000 Mustang GT a while ago with a 4v swap then got a 2000 Tahoe.. traded the hoe for the 98 yesterday.. so far I am love with this car..

The previous owner wasn't to car savvy but its got z06 chrome wheels, SS trunk-lid, exhaust (just cat-back) cant remember the name he said.

The interior is brand new.. new foam, new leather, new dash, console, everything.. I love it..

The car is lowered about an inch or two maybe, just enough to look decent.. as for suspension I know it has sub-frame connectors but his ad just said upgraded suspension.. haven't gone down and really check it out yet..

Only flaw is the front end.. I need to buy headlights (black housing, but not tinted on the outside of the lens) where can I get those? and a grill.. It has a trailer hitch hole behind the plastic grill piece.

Here's some pictures (cell phone crap)

I dont know jack about these cars but I can't wait to feed the mod bug.

Congratulations how many miles mind if I ask What you paid?

rebuilt T56 with 7k (including clutch and flywheel)

141k on motor.. but it has no motor mods at all, and oil has been done every 3-5k so.. im fine with the higher mileage..

as for price.. I traded a 2000 (00-06 style) Tahoe with clear issues on the hood, it needed tires bad also.. so i think I made out great..

Get yourself a SLP bowtie to cover that hole in the grill, congrats on the purchase too!

MM is full of ******* kids dude.. but yeah i was.. under "stephen4036" i was on SVTP..

the swap wasnt to bad.. yours is a 2000, so its an 8 bolt crank.. which is good... 99/00 were 8 and 01-04 was 6.. so when you do the swap your clutch and fly wheel will bolt back up. I did a 98 teksid swap.. I got it from oil pan to intake so.. i had everything.. i never disconnected an AC line either.. just unbolted it then bolted it back on the 4v motor.. if you actually do the swap send me a pm and i can tell you all the little **** and wiring you gotta do.

and whats an SLP bowtie? i have the little grill piece but its all faded and gross and broke two of the little tabs that grill snaps into..

do you have a link to this slp bowtie grill?

LS1s come with the T56 transmission, so I say go with the pro 5.0. That's what I like to roll with anyway.

Welcome.
I had a few stangs myself (1965 289ci coupe, 87' 5.0 Cobra(hatch), 90' (coupe not hatch with a 306ci (this one had lots of mods), and a 1999' Cobra 4.6 (very soft car).
My favourite to drive hands down was the 1990 coupe, such a light weight car and thats what i miss...
Ive been with my 99 TransAm Firehawk for 10 years now and it has been an amazing car.

I notice you have a 'wisper' high flow air lid (+9 RWHP).

If you will be launching or playing hard then you will want to read articles on the clutch system and more specifically and get a Tick master cylinder. CTS, Vette, GTO, Camaro's, and TA's all have the same **** Hydraulic system.

These cars have lots of potential for not a lot of money just like the stangs. The LS1 can rev too, I believe the factory limiter is 6250rpm.

My personal Recommendations
- flush and bleed brakes by machine
- Flush and bleed clutch system and use DOT 4.
- Don't start a roll race much under 4000rpm if possible.
- Get some yellow SA Koni's all round
- Hawk brake pads are something to keep in mind when you need them (I love the auto X ones best ever).
- SFC's and anti sway bars will make a z28 feel nice and tight
- Make sure you have a minimum 3.42 rear end (up to 4.10ish)
- The CAM is the biggest bottle-neck (custom grind to your entire final setup then dyno tune)
- UD crank pulley but not the ASP brand (unless they are better now)
- 160* thermo with fan tune is good to have when its warm out.
