Default I'd buy that for a dollar!
Recently I posted a thread about a buddy of mine who upgraded from the LS6 to the FAST. I've worked on his car before and given him lots of tech help, so he hooked me up with his old LS6 for a buck, well here it is. I painted it gloss black BTW.

Cleaned and ready for primer.



Primer going on.



Gloss Black going on.



All done and clearcoated



One more



Got the coolant pipes on order from WS6store.com and should have it all bolted up next weekend maybe.

Hope it's a noticeable gain, my track times have been sucking.

It's good to have good friends.

So was it awkward when you handed him a single dollar?

Well, I didn't even have a dollar, so my girlfriend gave him one. It was kind of weird, because I had the intake already. I was like, "are you serious?", you really want a dollar? And he said yeah, so she gave him one.

honestly, if you did that, i'd split the money with him. i think he would deserve it, but that's my opinion. if he hooks you up, it would be nice to shoot him back one, know what i mean?

definitely a good pickup for a buck.

lol, that's a funny story.

I like that gloss black idea, it looks like a freshly cleaned unpainted stocker.

I'll do 10 bucks and split shipping

This is my payback for hooking him up multiple times. He wanted to pay me several hundred for installing his springs and shocks, and I was like, "just gimme 20 for a case." Also found him some buyers for other things as well.

Looks good. What kind of paint did you use?

I was thinking of painting mine red, just wasn't sure what kind of paint and how well it would hold up.

Duplicoler engine enamel.

It will hold up, it's holding up on the calipers.
