Have you looked into a Body in White before you rip out everything?

I'll second that, you might want to talk to Mike Meeks he has a thread going on camaro5 and he did total up how much to build his car.

Better to keep your car worth 25-35k, and build one from scratch.

Ill buy the motor for $500 becuase thats is all I have, However the two gentlemen's idea is simply the best answer, Fords beeen doing bodies in white for some time, ( i worked with a company that bought them monthly from Ford and did not know GM did the same program till recently) But I would love to get a new ls3 for my car.

And you'd still be better off I think even selling your car mint and buying a V6 and parting that out. Run the numbers I say.
