who you chanting to Mike? You tryin to chant to the choir? What I REALLY want is the LS9/T56 set up. I doubt that I could ever justify a 17-21,000 USD engine to MYSELF. Nah, LS1 is certainly in the lead right now. a complete drivetrain for 4200 USD? ooooh, I hope I make bank during this move...hot DAMN I want that freakin drivetrain.

'bout to PM you with info...

Also remembered my dad has a few engines sittin in okie land he'd prolly be willing to sell. A couple of SB 350's, a SB 400, and a BB 454. All of 'em carburated monsters of sorts. That lil' 400 would do you well in the bird. wink

You can always put aftermarket injection systems on old carburated engines. :p

I've toyed with the idea for the 427 Chevy BB sitting in my garage. eek

None of 'em have moved in years and I'd be surprised if they move anytime soon. If they did I'd prolly be grabbing at least one.

If they haven't moved in years, I think you probably have to hot tank the whole thing and tear them apart.

My buddy is selling his mom's toyota corrola (think it is a corrola I saw in the driveway) for $200. Had lots miles (not sure how many) but needs work to get it running. Looks like good shape. I had an itch looking at it a little to use it for economy or to do something a little nuts to it, make it fast! That is if I could even fit in the damn thing. 6'6" probably wasn't designed in that cars making!
