How much for the entire drivetrain back in stock form

(jk I can't afford an LS1 swap)

You should look into that red vert, could make it a practical clone of your current one, that would be cool.

The only time ive ever seen a billet grill on a f body that i liked ,was on one of the GMMG super cars with the widened fenders. I think its GMMG? It was like a light blue with the flat black strip on the side. It was in GM High Tech and was photoed in front of a barn with a fine looking ((FARM)) girl .LOL As cool hand luck's buddie in the movie would have said LOL It had the 427 in it with all the goodies?

Sad to see man, that was a nice car that was truly original. I was sad to see which car was wrecked because I always remember that car when somebody says somthing about GFX can never look good. You proved that wrong.

Hope you find another one!

Damn that sucks man. I opened the thread and saw the first before pic and I remembered you can and though no this is going to suck and then I saw the damage... From the looks of the car before I'm sure you'll get another and make it look good.
