Semi sad intro LS2 swap coming up Hi,
I just picked up a 2006 CTS-V the 6 month old car had a terrible mishap with a tree. Poor car was just parked and the tree fell on it.
Now why I bought the car
The car drives fine but can not be fixed. I am thinking of putting the engine in my 67 RS/SS and pulling out the BBC thats in it. Or finding an 03 or 04 CTS and swapping over the parts.

If I go the camaro route I will be taking everything off that can be unbolted and then some. I figure some things will be needed by people in the future. The sunroof, door panels, seats etc. are all mint in most peoples cars now but in 3 or 4 years they will need these things. I am reading like crazy about these LSx's now and will go from old school to new tech happily.
