Possibly upgrading to an LS1 Okay, so here's the deal. This idea was brought to me by my mom. So I have the 95 explorer, worth about 2500. I also have my T/A (93) which I have taken the front end off of to do the LS1 conversion. I may also have 1000-2000 from selling a system that I have. All together, the value (If the T/A is together) would be about 6 grand IMO. What do you guys think about trading them for an LS1 T/A or maybe an old CTS-V. Does this sound possible to you guys? What do you think I should do?

You won't find a CTS-V for near that. I wouldn't go off prices you think things are worth for how much you have to spend, and do you need the Explorer for a winter car? I don't know if you could get $2500 for a 95 gas hog like that, most expensive systems are worth a small fraction you spent on them, and a 93 T/A isn't going to go for much more than $3000 if any. So going off that, I would say just save your money until you KNOW you can afford one.
