Default what car should I Install a 408 supercharged LSX engine/4L80?

I was building a 2001 camaro Z28 but sadly I had to leave the project half way done because i had to return to my home country, now a stupid law doesn't allow to import used cars... but they allow to Import 35+ years old cars as they are called social interest car... so Im stuck with my Z28 and a LSX w/ LSA supercharger with a 4l80... at this point if I sell everything Ill lose almost 30k I put on my car...

this is what I have so far
LSX engine custom build with LSA Supercharge
800+ hp 4L80
ECU+TCU
ZL1 Brembo brakes kit
Transmission cooler
Methanol Injection System.
Strange Rear end build for 800 hp
and a 01 Z28

the only other Fbody in colombia is a black V6 from 1993 the car is like brand new and the Odometer says less than 70.000 miles

my other option is to sell my Z28 as is (No engine nor Trans) and find any other GM car pre 85´ to do the project. what car do you recommend to do the swap? an Iroc-Z? a C4? or other GM car.


thanks!

Almost any GM car from the 60's or 70's would work. Look for Novas, Camaros, Chevelles(or Malibus), or any Pontiac, Buick or Oldsmobile variation of the above. There are parts to put LS engines in any one of those cars

See if you can find a Nova... I know GM sold a number of them in Argentina right? Maybe get one closer to where you are now.

any X body will do really
