[B]Ls1...80k..?[/B]
I own a slightly built '93 LT1 Z28 A4. 355/NO2 etc. Good solid car but im getting kind of tired of it, considering there's LS1 cars with only cam upgrades right next to me. I have a chance at a '99 Z28 M6 for cheap- Ls1 with 80,000miles. Car looks/runs good, all stock. Should i trade in the old LT1 or no?? i need some advice from the experts.. thanks

hell..for 4500.....take it...even if it had some problems you could invest in a 383 crank rods and pistons (all forged of course) and put in a cam with pushrods and new rockers new springs new lifters...do the water pump and timing chain and thermostat at the same time......
voila!!!!
practically new engine.......total on parts... $6000 if you do it all yourself.....maybe even less depending on who you know and what you get.
and then you'd have one hell of a motor and it would last another 80000 easy

I'd go for it. It sounds like your ready for a change and going from a LT1 A4 to a LS1 M6 is gonna be one heck of a fun adventure. Rowing through gears and 300 rwhp stock is a fun combo. Your gonna love the gas mileage those things get on the highway too.
I say go for it!

I just rolled over 80K in my car the night before last. I have hit mine with a 100 shot of nitrous several times and I am waiting on LS1 edit, and a new hood and when they arrive I'll be gathering up stuff for one of those new TR T-rex camshafts to slide off in there!
