Well guys, I received an infraction from LS1Tech for trying to sell since I am a fairly new member and cannot post anything for sale yet, but I will have things on Ebay over the next month rather then through here.
However, since my car is totaled, is there anything I can put my LS6 engine and transmission in that would be pretty sweet? I am looking at 68 camaro for about 5500 with a blown engine that I think will work. But any other ideas out there?

Most RWD import platforms offer swap kits at this point.
Popular would be:
Mazda FC and FD RX7s
Nissan 240sx
Nissan 350Z
Nissan 300ZX
280Zs
Honda S2000s
And they offer lesser weight with the power of the LS6 can make a VERY good combination.
Hinson Super cars
Sikky
THose two sites will offer a LOT of info.

I was going to rebuild my LS2 and slap it in this. It's my '76 Datsun 280Z.

Ya, that would be sweet, I just need to find a 68 camaro with no engine! I have never done any body work, so trying to find one with a decent frame and no rust, which is proving to be difficult... and of course one I can afford!

Come down to GA, there are several 1st gen camaro shells waiting for the finishing touches on craigslist.

Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky...... lots of documentation on this swap and the V1 accessory drive and transmission will work just fine. I believe that GM even published a list of the parts needed for the swap.
Car will weight ~3000 (a touch less than a C6 Z06). :D
Mallett did/maybe still does these swaps.

Rx7, 1st gen Camaro, anymof the imports listed earlier or even an old fox body coupe. Got it down to 26-2700 lbs with a nice h/c/I and a shot on it. Thing would be nasty fast

You can easily put it in a 240sx... It was what I built before I bought the V1.
