what to do.... ok im at the point where im bored as hell with the car.
so i have 2 options
1. trade the car in/sell it (more than likely trade it in) for a high mileage SS for 8-9k i think my trade in would cover about 1/2 the SS's price.
2. swap in an LS1 or LS6
i like option 2 for right now. ill be one of few, and i can keep modding the car itself (stripes/rear end/front suspension) then on the other hand, insurance would be cheaper than on an SS under full coverage too.

haha yea i have all my stock ****.
only things im keeping is my rear suspension and lid and hood if i do trade it in.
id still like to keep the car, theres nothing wrong with the body or paint except the usual front bumper rock chips. it would be cheaper to take out that small loan and do the swap over a couple weekends rather than paying a shitload over years on insurance.
and while the engine is out before going in ill add an MS4, patriot duals, ported and painted intake, LS6 oil pump, and the clutch.

if i left the LS stock my 10 bolt would be up to the task since its been rebuilt/geared, but with the cam i dont think so haha. im gonna look for a 12 bolt or a new 3 channel 9" later on.
i was actually thinking about leaning the engine up, and putting it on an engine stand and keep it in my room as a display or actually something to throw shirts on
im not really interested in modding my engine anymore. 156k on it and its still strong as hell, but at that many miles and with a cam only itll probably die on me.
