RFF street rep is low. keep going
Smile Finally settled on a decision performance wise.

I was kinda pissed since I was not able to get a cosign for a TA. Me and my parents have never gotten along when it comes to performance until today. We finally agreed on something, I'm looking for an striped LT1, either out of a wrecked car or really I just need the block and then build it up. Once I'm done beefing up the engine (should take over a year) I'll just drop it in (along with a beefed up tranny and Moser 12bolt). Just the fact I can start from scratch is great, their are so many choices when it comes to your own build. As an end result I'm shooting for a bored/stroked 396 with a wiff of nitrous. I'm still going for mild bolt ons on my stock engine but all the mods will be transferible to the rebuilt engine. Now where can I find scraped LT1 at a good price?

You think mileage would make a difference? I'm guesing no since it will be a rebuild.

not too much low millage would need less machine work and could save a few bucks there, but you'll spend it up front
