Why did you sell your car to buy another LS1 car? Disregard that question if you're getting a GTO or Corvette.

I haven't sold an LS1 in over 5 years.

Does seem odd that you just sold the car and already you want another. What was the point in selling then?

It's cheaper to throw money at a roller and build/drivetain you want instead of ripping the motor out and trying to sell it. He can buy a roller and have a good 4-5k cash to start with.

^^^exactly if i do it i will be going about it slowly (i have a dd). and just pickin up parts for good deals as they come along. i wasnt going to rip the motor out of a car that i no longer wanted then mess with rebuildin it all. rather just start with a new car that i can get excited and motivated with. still not sure which route ill go yet did look at a couple nice trucks but idk. anyone got a cheap NBM, SOM, or white roller lol.

Buy a cheap feul economical beater(like a honda or something) and just save up till you can get what you want, no point in half assing it.
