Great car! We just added a cam to one and picked up 40 rwhp over his old cam - they respond great to mods.

Nice find.

Pretty cool mod list. I have the monster stg3 clutch& i,m pretty sure the crankshaft end freeze plug is dripping on it again, but it still barks 3rd gear.good stuff.
I,m sure you like the ride quality & interior better than the camaro.

15k out the door and this is just the build list from the previous owner so the only thing not right is the clutch but when my taxes are done ones going in

A m6 will work perfectly fine. I'm actually carless now. The camaro blew up a week ago. So if you know anyone with a 3.8 shortblock or long block I need one for my DD camaro.

Alright. I haven't found any either. I think it spun a rod bearing or maybe even a main bearing. It had right at 200k miles. I drove it home knocking for 30 miles. Damage was already done anyways.

Konis are not for sale. LOL. Everyone has asked. Not really looked yet. IDK what route I will take. Wanna get a junk yard motor but then I wanna just rebuild mine with all new stuff cause I plan to continue it as a DD and I will know its all new.

hmm. you could build it back but that seems like it would be way more money then buying a junkyard one
