Default I'm back in an Fbody

Well,

Found a steal this past week.

2001 SS Camaro
88,xxx miles
Black
6 Speed

The starter broke, and broke a tab on the engine. I'll be pulling it and getting it welded. Deciding on picking up an ls2 and slapping a set of heads and a cam in there while it's out and selling the stock motor.

Either way, the car hasn't started, the transmission, clutch, and rear are uncertainties but for the price I got her it's worth the chance.

She sat for over a year. Car was very dirty, but it cleaned up very nicely.

Looking forward to getting this mod bug back and behind the wheel

If anyone has some nice donations of leftover parts I'll take anything you want to get rid of

$1800 is a good deal, even if it ends up being in roller condition..

Absolutely and thanks! I figure if the motor and Trans is shot the car in this condition with these miles is still a 3k roller. It's in solid condition after I cleaned her up. I've got some time to figure out the plans

Not sure it's for sale just yet ping king. If I were to sell it then it would be a whole long block too. Been thinking more along the lines of ls2 though.

Thanks again guys! Hope to be smokin them soon!

I also wouldn't say cheap crack. Before you know it your FI 10 second fbody just cost you 10-15k. But definitely so much fun
