Well the GTO is up for sale, I'm asking $16,500 for it. If you know anyone help a brother out. I'm in the market for a C6 or a C5Z.

Just kidding. Get the C5 Z. More bang for your buck than a base model LS2 C6.

Yeah there are a ton of good C5Z's for sale, I just need to sell this damned GTO first. Unless I could find the way to get a set of heads and some spray then maybe I'd change my mind. I was also trying to find someone that would trade me a LS Fbody plus pay off.

I know Sheik they had one at buyavette that i really wanted, I'd prolly even trade for a FBody roller and some cash since I can get a screaming deal on a GM Truck due to my parents being GM Retirees. And then just build a really serious street car

Mike, porting 243's wouldn't really be all that smart since I can get a set of SDPC ported ls3 heads complete for 750 a head and a LS3 intake off ebay for pretty cheap, and I wouldnt have any downtime.

Speedway white only came in the 01s. Too bad some of them had major oil consumption issues. I rebuilt probably 15-20 2001 LS6 short blocks because GM issued a recall on them. The ring gap was too loose IIRC. Thanks to that little stint I can file rings and check clearance with my eyes closed.

James, you don't need heads. You need a cam that actually works for a 350-370ci engine. Not a camshaft that was originally design for a 427ci stroker 10 years ago.

So the gto had that little setback two weeks ago. insurance paid out pretty good. Found some parts on the internet real cheap to save a few dollars so ordered the fender and bumper i need. The body shop is pulling the dents and painting it for a very reasonable price. So with all this extra money I went ahead and ordered my cam XR281HR comp cams 228/230 112LSA. And all the goodies to go with it.
