Default Keep my 94 z28 or sell for 98+ ls1 camaro

i really cant decide whether to keep my 94 or to sell it and get a LS1 camaro

i like the 94 dont get me wrong. but i much rather have the LS1 dash and front and buy the time i converted the 94 to the LS1 front i could have bought a LS1.

here are some pics of the car. there are a few interior pieces i need to replace and the front bumper has some spider web cracks in it. and im putting in a new auto trans in it (1st and 2nd slip like mad)

What yall say i could get for the car?

It would only be like $200 if you got all the front end parts used at pick-a-part.. Then another few hundred to have it painted.

Don't know what you could get for your car, but it looks like you know what you want to do about the LS1...

for what? if your going to do a stroker LSx then just keep what you have, cause the cost is going to be expensive either way, why spend extra just cause the body?

If the engine upgrade doesn't factor in at all for you. I would keep the 94 and put a newer clip on it. I don't think it will be worth the money or hassle to sell it and buy a newer one.
