Thanks for the after comment though I guess LOL

i had my v6 for 3 years before my ls1 and i loved no diff than this car... I have respect for any fbody.. doesnt matter whats under the hood...but mad respect for all your hard work!!

The thing I like the most about this transformation is the body kit it really set it off from stock.
