I went over to the dark side... kinda
I bought a 38k mile 2001 Z28 with a seized LS1. The car is CLEAN as hell and has full tubular suspension, full bolt on's and alot of other extras. The car has pretty much everything done to it. It has a set of ported 317 heads on the motor now that came from an LQ9 that will also be comig the the car. The LQ9 spun a bearing but has all ARP hardware in it. I will be putting the LQ9 back in with a smallish sized cam.
Don't worry, it will be my new DD, the LT1 is still the go fast car! I will post pictures as soon as I trailer it home saturday!

Check engine light was on because the car was in the on position... sorry. The LS1 that's in there now actually unlocked but it sounds like death. I have never heard a motor sound so bad! I will be tearing down the LQ9 and getting it to the machine shop ASAP. I was to put a small cam in and mill the heads to get around 11.1 compression. It will be a daily driver so I can do too much yet.
Can't beat it for 5k! I hope the MS3 that is in the LS1 isn't too chewed up.
