I see you have been brainwashed by the LSx bandwagon. boost can cure a bunch of TPI issues

its a preference, once you go ls1 you never look back.

if you cant keep both then sell one and build the other one the right way

i wanted to ask you Mr. Terror. do you think the 4th gen A/c would work with the 3rd gen dash?

yeah but you would have to notch your k member. u can either get custom hoses made to mate to the 4th gen a/c compressor and use 3rd gen evap, condenser, drier etc or you can use all 4th gen parts and build a two piece fiberglass 3rd gen/4th gen hvac box like mine.

or u can use custom made brackets to retain the 3rd gen compressor.. kinda looks ugly though..

cause im thinkin itd probably be easier to sell the black one then buy a complete 4th gen and swap most the stuff except the interior and part out the rest of the 4th gen.

my buddy is beggin me to buy the 87 cause he owned it years before me.

This could be a good candidate for a transplant. Then part the rest out and make some money to fund the build.
