Don't see myself ever selling the 02. I do really want a C5 FRC or a C6. Nice car Charlie.

No, I'm sorry if it came across like that. It's just gonna take a good chunk of money to piece together that engine build and all the go-together items to make it fit and work properly. Along with the install and tune fee's. Plus you'll need a new clutch and rear end. Just seems like a lot of dough to be putting into a Fbody. That's just my opinion though. Either way, if you go through with it, it will be a bad *** build and car.

its all good bro. i know where your coming from, it is alot of cash. however, i plan on selling my truck, and my motor in the car now. plus i have a couple other things im selling soon. so ill at least have a good chunk of the motor paid for. i will install the motor myself to save some cash. with all that in mind it wont be so bad and i will have one badass powerplant in the SS.

the exhaust tips are only bolted up on the passenger side, i just did the TSP long tubes, mid pipes, and swapped out the corsa for Z06 Ti's and i haven't buttoned it all up yet/ i am going to wrap the headers and mid pipes in header wrap this weekend, and get it all dialed in, then i will do the plates, and title it in oregon lol

Why not just spray it, or turbo it with like a Huron kit? Seems cheaper and more potential in the long run than some huge investment in a big motor.

That's the one thing I have never understood about the LSx world. People spending giga-dollars on huge NA motors. A 500 dollar nitrous setup will make more power and torque than whatever NA motor you have.

I have boosted on top of spray almost everything I owned. Nothing to fear except stupidity.
