Come to think of it, another project car I'd like to do someday, a 93-97 ford t-bird with an LS1 in it. I have the t-bird yard ornament now...loved that car for over 100k miles, deluxe interior, 230/330 hp/tq rwd 4whl active independent susp., climate control, dual 8way leather buckets, power moonroof, handled and felt awesome for a big car. Sure it weighed 3800 lbs, but the 3.8 SC v6 was pretty quick. Since I started reading about the LS1, I always wanted to put an LS1 in mn12 tbird, but bought the z vert instead for the time being. I'd also like an s10 or el camino with an LS1 also.

As for a v6 camaro converted to LS1, I would bet the insurance would be cheaper for non z28/ss by the actuary tables. They really don't care which motor, just which model, I'd be willing to bet. I mean I would think the VIN code would determine the rate, even when you say it has a v8 in it I bet you'd get the non ss/z28 rate because of the VIN. Maybe not but if I had to guess I'd say the VIN determines the rate. I'll have to ask my hockey buddy about that or my stepfather, their the insurance gurus.

If the car isn't what you wanted, why did you buy it? It's not like someone forced you into it...

Yeah right. When I got there he pulled a gun on me and demanded the money. I told him no but he said yes. So I give him $8000 for it. I DIDN'T BUY IT. You think I would have been crying like a baby on here if I would have bought it.
