And 180k is alot of miles to blow 4k on knowing you may need rebuilds down the line pretty soon, especially if your planning mods.
i plan on replacing the trans with a beefed up trans. so if it goes out that is fine. i will be replacing engine,trans,rear end, suspension,brakes,etc.. i just dont want a roller because then i have to start from scratch and i dont want to do that, at least this way i will know exactly what hooks up where.

I guess in that sense it works better then a roller then. I would still offer as someone said before around 3800 cash or somewhere around there, no need to pay that much if you don't have to haha.

I paid 3600 for my current Z28 with 176k but it's a 6-speed and needed nothing. I say go a little lower but I wont hesitate to buy a high mileage car. LS1's are beast and run for a very very long time when maintained!
