scratch that, it doesnt have to be a turbo II. just an 86-87 2nd gen...by the way, the 2005 project car for GRM, how much did you guys get that for?...you know who you are.

you can get a 2nd gen without an engine cheap as anything. $100 should do it. I'll see what we're doing with our extra shell tomorrow.

i like the look of the 2nd gens better, even with a v8 people are getting the 2nd gens to 2500-2700 pounds. 400-500hp should move that weight around nicely.

i've read somewhere that the LS1 was a better engine to use, or maybe it was the LT, been awhile back i can't remember. i'd go all out and put a viper in it.

the only reason LS1 is EASIER because of the alternator setup... ur gonna spend 5000+ more than any LT1 setup and for a measly 125$ u can get a smaller alternator that clears the hood... both are just as easy swaps..
