Thanks for the gratz guys. I thought it was a pretty good deal as well. I was actually looking for a LS2 GTO M6. And when I saw this I couldn't pass it up.
I want to get the car back to stock, fix the exhaust and shifter ****, and want to fix the lil' interior things.
All I plan on doing to it, lid(hopefully blackwing), (dual,dual catback), smooth bellows(like the look), bo white pnp tb, LS6 IM(haven't decided if I want to get rid of the EGR yet),and lou's short stick. Then a tune.
325whp is the target.

nice car, but one piece of advice. Find the leak in the AC before just getting it charged. AC refridgerant doesn't just go away, it has to leak out somehow for it to need recharged.

Good question.
I had a 99 SHO(daily) and 04 Z06. Combined worth almost 40k.
Wanted to consildate. Job market is too iffy and I only put 700 miles on my z06 in a year. Sold it, then sold my daily two weeks ago. All I wanted to spend was less that 15k. I was gunna have to step up to the plate to get a ls2 goat. Then saw this, checked it out and bought it.
Moral of the story.
Nearly all the fun of the vette for less than 25 cents on the dollar.

Nah, no long tubes for me. lol. Want to attempt to keep it near stock.
How did that LS6 install work out for you, any ramifications from removing the EGR? My only hesitation for doing it.

Beyond that, it's a pretty easy swap. Just be careful with the injectors and take care of the oil pressure sending unit. Most people break their sending unit during the swap but I managed to keep mine in one piece.
