Aren't there any aftermarket window motors out there by now ? I had a 94 LT1 that went through three and the kid that bought it off me has changed it 2 times already. I'v heard plenty more about them going out.

Yes. Siemens and Doorman are both aftermarket brands that make window motors for these cars, and they seem to be much better than stock. You can get these through Autozone, it appears that some Autozones have one brand and some have the other.
