I did not know you outran a tuned one too.
I've heard of the Tremor. Just did a little research on them. It is quick......but with a new 6.2 truck running a 14.1 in crewcab Denali form it don't seem all that great these days.
Still be a cool swap motor though.....if the it did not have the issues.

See if the guy has service records, and/or look yourself to see if the intake manifold has a metal coolant crossover passage. It's right behind the alternator. If not, make sure to check the coolant level and radiator. Even if you eventually have to junk that motor, it's one of the most plentiful in the world so they're dirt cheap.
Car runs well, only has an EGR code. Cleaner then my camaro basically
Gonna go over the front suspension and replace all 4 brake lines and drive it. Handles like a boat but, to be expected. Might try and find some rims off a stang or something to get rid of the wire spoke wheels. Oh and will get plastidiped black like the camaro as well, Might do intake/exhaust/tune if they make em depending on how much I like the car. Seats also suck, dunno if i can find better ones from a junk yard out of a different car, hate the bench seat thing.

Guy didnt have crap on it, he got it like 5 years ago for 1500 bucks and DD it, he said he never had a single issue with it. Started and drone it home for 600 bucks. Friend of my dads and was going to the junk yard if we didnt want it so, not gonna argue.

Over 180K on it, and $100 rattle can paint job, what you want it to look like? Lets see a picture of your trailer hitch again please...
Hoping its fast enough for 12s
Also true, never been washed since I plastidiped it, so over a year

But my car doesn't have a trailer hitch anymore
$100? Damn maybe another 100 or so in materials and you could've painted your car, if you're a do it yourselfer and have access to a gun and compressor.

Screw normal paint, keep in mind I did this with no prep to the body, out of rattle can in a couple hours in my garage. I'd love to see you prep and paint and let it dry in that amount of time. And it looks loads better then it did before with half the front end paint missing and mismatched.

No I just cant stand you cause all you do is troll and talk **** when you have nothing to brag about

lmao thats fine, i dont care who likes me or cannot stand me. Ive never bragged about anything i own, because there is no point to it. I get no satisfaction from it. I could be in the process of swaping an LS7 into my car, and i wouldn't care to share it with any of you. Because none of you matter to me. Anyways, That is neither here nor there.
I work at a body shop. A complete car with no body work, just prepping the car for paint shouldn't take longer than 30-45 min etc...

Too much in it to be a quick flip project if that's what you're thinking, I was building it to be a kick *** driver. I'd like 5K as is and 6K if I rebuild the motor and H/C it with the old ~5k mile top end from my z28(basically free proven head and cam package). Then will be brand new motor, tranny, and suspension with ~350-375rwhp through the stalled auto...would be one of the nicest ******* LT1 around after some paint.
Built tranny with receipt with under 500 miles ($2,000 build...), an FTI 3200 stall($800 stall), full suspension, OEM WS6 hood and air box, BBK Mids, 58MM TB, Eibach ProKit, Chrome 10spokes with Nittos 555s, 6LE seats, amp and sub, etc...could be parted for profit but I don't have the time or desire.
Currently needs paint and a refreshing of the tired stock LT1.
Planned on keeping it but don't want another project, just want something I can drive when the weather is too bad for the bike. I've driven it maybe 6 times since I got it, poor thing is just sitting.
