need some advice

So since I had to sell my ws6 I started off with a $2200 mustang 5.0. Then I traded it for a 97 custom silverado. Right now I have a Guy willing to trade me a fully built 97 ta with a little over 400 HP to the wheels. My goal is to make it back to a ws6. This time payment free. What do you guys think the chances are someone would be willing to trade a stock ls1 ta for a professionally built lt1 are.

You'd be a lot closer with the T/A than with the silvy I would guess, and probably happier driving it as well

Or take the lt1 t/a and swap in a ls2 as i really doubt anyone in their right mind would trade a 98-02 ws6 for a older lt1 car

That's what I thought too but it is in abeline. I am thinking of biding my time for the right deal. I've came this far with a 2200 investment lol. I know I can pick up a z28 at least. Had a Guy offer me an 01 mustang gt today. Bad thing is mustang's are so common it gives me no trading power. Slowly working it lol

If the LT1 is nice, you may see better coin off it than the silvy.

Get an LS in an LT body... (random CL ad just posted...)

well he said fully built, if it is a forged 355 with built tranny, rear, suspension, etc, he would have a pretty decent chance of finding a trade or at least a trade with minimal cash on his part.
