I have a v6 fbody right now. Everyday I'm on this site wishing i had the money to buy my TA / camaro tomorrow. I'm saving every paycheck I get in hopes that one day I'll be able to turn the key and hear that signature tone v8. But it just takes so damn long to save. So i do what I can to my v6. As in slow? During high school, i basically ran against all the hondas/acuras that went around. There werent many domestic lovers at my HS, as it was more of the import scene there. but nonetheless, I was damn happy to roll in my v6. If what you looking for is an upgrade from that Accord of yours, then a v6 fbody wouldn't be such a bad idea. You'd find a major upgrade from your Accord, i'll tell you that. Plus if you're really bent on getting a v8, you really could buy one for 11K. I've seen some 4th gens on a site called craigslist.org around here and it lists maros 98+ for as low as 7 G's. Though I dont know if that site applies to you since you're in TN, but look around your area. I'm sure you'll find a TA for your price, like Trust said. ^

 

it's not the 98+ look you want, its the motor... LS1

 

Take a look at my ride on cardomain. I have a link right to mine. I have a 97 with the conversion. I like it.
