Default What you guys think..

I have been thinking about this for a while..
I am looking for a 93-95 Corvette M6 that is in nice shape, and swapping my Engine and PCM into that. My friend can program it to run the M6, and I can gut out all the Emissions/EGR crap while I am at it. From what I hear, they are pretty stout Rear-Ends in them. I think I would get 3.73's in it, and that's about it. My Z06 rims would fit it. I am looking for suspension stuff also.
I am looking to it, they are getting cheap enough to do this with, and have a nice car. I would part out the Z, it needs a paint job and a little TLC to put it back into top shape.

Gears are more expensive on vettes, requires a special spreader to install them, also the DANA 36 is the 10 bolt of the vettes, the 44 is stronger. Also the rear suspension is adjustable with the leaf springs so really a nice set of shocksn and front springs and you've got most of the suspension done. Just wanted to enlighten you on a few things to help you out. I personally lover C4 vettes even though many do not, a ZR1 is my dream car, more so then a new ZO6

I am looking into it.. don't know yet. Headers are a pain on them, some of the little stuff is different. Might just get the Z panted, and run with that. That will cost less over all, and it's already setup.

Yea get the 44 setup if you get a Vette. Sounds fun though. My friend has a 94 M6 with almost all the bells and whistles
