Default New car!

I picked up another F-body, this will be number 4. Its a 1998 Camaro M6 Hardtop with what i thought was a forged 6.0l but the block dont lie and its says 5.3l. So i going to say its a cammed 5.3l. It seems to run pretty good so ill have fun with it. Funny thing is I was able to buy the car from an old friend who bought it a year or so ago after the rebuild. It looks to be a great project car, definitely needs some work but still a great start. 4th gear syncro is gone, anyone have luck with a tranny shop in the sanford, north orlando area? also anyone selling a lid?

Im glad to be back in the game.

Finally got around to cutting the horrible exhaust that was on the car. it had a advance auto parts thrush muffler stitched into the stock cat back system. I will probably just got with a dynmax bullet and a dump for now until I do a new set of headers. The open headers do sound good tho.
