What is exactly wrong with the motor that swapping heads/cam is going to fix. I'll take the stock heads.. 
Yes, I'm keeping the Camaro, just needed a new project...so I picked up a '91 GT. I've had a bunch of Mustangs, but it is the 1st '87-'93 GT I've ever owned.

I've got a pulley puller and a bolt ground down for thread cleaning if you need it. I'd volunteer some time to help, but with all the projects going on with the house, I just can't commit. Still keep us posted as to when you decide to do it. I may be able to lend a hand. Also if you haven't got an LS6 intake for that thing, now is the time. Do it before you get it tuned.

I haven't seen the red one with the white hood, but I see a Black lsx WS6 on lincoln way quite a bit, along with a black lsx Firehawk. Both look like nice cars. I've seen the silver saturn. when I'm in ames, I'm either in a Green STS caddy, or an ex-military Camo' K5. (m1009). I see quite a few lsx's in ames, but I never have mine up here.
