the divorce is probably the best thing that has happened to me. I was happy to find out that i had a cheating wife early then later on when we had kids. As far as what car im looking for, i miss my old LT1 and i would love to have another one. if i come across a LS1 for a decent price i may go that way. it just depends really

Good to hear man. Kids would have complicated it even more.

Thankfully, I've seen several LS Camaros for great prices on Tech and CL

LTx or LS swap?

I have a local buddy who has an LS swapped into his. It is currently under the knife ready for a turbo build

Nice cars, even with their stereotype

That would be a great starting point

My buddy bought a 01 Z28 roller and swapped in an LQ4 he got for a good deal at a local junkyard. Here is what it does with mods listed in the video. We're very curious to see how it does with the new 7875 BB turbo
