i would look for a complete totaled car and it would be a lot easier just to switch everything out, and you would have all of the parts.... idk 4 grand?

Any reason you don't want to just buy an M6 LS1? It might be more cost effective not to mention the hassle. There are some good deals out there...

Sell your car for a few grand and pick up an LS1 M6 car. I've seen some nice ones starting at $7,000.

By the time you do the entire powertrain swap you will be well over the difference between selling your car and buying a Z28 or SS, unless you can somehow find a wrecked car with a good powertrain for dirt cheap.

dude i would but i still owe on it. i owe like 6k i know its not wirth it but i kinda got rip`d off at a buy here pay here place. so i pay`d a whole lot more than what it was worth. and now some 1 hit it while it was park`d and i dont got the money to fix it. so im pretty much screw`d

with the money for the motor/trans swap pay it off or get close to it then you can get an LS1 car when you can sell that one
