yeah i thought about that last night, and it seams alot more logical for me to find one at a yard someplace. btw what is the going rate for a ls1 these days, $900? and a t56, $1200? so i would be looking at around $2100 on a drive train if i kept it stock. i can get a s13 with a blown head gasket, straight body, interior is still there for $750.
