Um... I think it's absolutely stupid if you would take a numbers matching LS-6 out of it's original car.
That being said, I don't see how it could be the original engine because I'm pretty sure the only year the high output LS-6 was available in the full size cars was 70.
The bottom line is, if you want a nutty 4wd, then get the truck done. If you want a sweet old school muscle car, get the car done. Basically it all comes down to what you are more into. I would figure if I had a LS1 already and had a truck to get fixed up, i'd do the truck and sell the old car. If it had numbers matching stuff though, I wouldn't take anything out of it and just sell it whole. Just build a nice torquey small block for the truck.

your correct DMN the ls6 wasn't offered in my car but it is a ls-6 crate engine from the mid 80's...i think i might just do that...the more i talk to you guys on here the more i wanna build my camaro up...the only thing holding me back is its my daily driver!

I know people who have B/B 4X4's & they go out muddin' in them too.
Think you can break stuff at the track?
You should see the stuff they end up doing, big fun=big bucks.
