hmmm how is it "ruining" the car will be meticulous as Marc always keeps his stuff and it will be what he wants.....
So lets recap
Clean car nicely done and modded. What the owner and guy who spent the money wants. All around bad *** ride. Yeah you ruined it Marc Just like Hotchkis ruined the Z lmao get a clue. Marc it will be bad *** and will probably be worth more then what you paid not to mention it will be what you want! Enjoy man.

I just bough it and I'm not looking to flip it.

Gee, maybe I had intentions of taking the original numbers matching motor out of it and sticking it in the corner of the garage

Dumbass

And what are you driving? A Pinto?

Thanks GM and My84

That does look nice. (rims excluded) IMO Thoes rims ruin the whole car. haha

There is something to be said about getting the 'car you have always wanted' resale value and other peoples opinions don't mean a thing.

That's an oppinion. Not a good one but one. It's like they say oppinions are like ******** everyone has one. Not to mention if he plans on actually driving it you can't beat fuel injection. Can your "old school" get 20+ mpg on over 600 hp and drive like any other car on the road?

Thats what people say when they have never trully experienced what its like to drive a true 10 second street car.

Having owned a few Big Block Carb Muscle Car Era stuff I can tell you that stuff belongs in a Muesum.

ESP,
I wasn't asking permission or taking a poll on who is OK with me putting an LS1 into MY Z/28 so mind you own ******* business.

As far as getting an LS1 to go fast, just check out Noyzee's car or the one that Purevil is having put together but I'm sure they're sleds and can't touch your precious roll caged car.

If I wanted a fast car I'd have kept my 94 Z/28 but I'm looking for more of an all around car.

Marc
