What do you want to do with the car. Good handling corner wise n stuff, or great weight transfer for dragging? If you wanna drag i got the 90/10 lakewood drag struts up front think theyre like 90 bux a pop. And the 50/50 lakewood drag shocks out back think those are like 40 bux a pop.

putting a stick in an auto car isn't that hard (cut a hole and add a new pedal assembly from a donor car) add the clutch parts (master cylinder)heck guys have done it with first gen cars that had mechanical linkage that had to be fabbed up

really? well.. that changes everything hmm im might keep it now and swap everything when i have the money, saves me from selling this car, and buying another one, and then starting to save up for the swap

quick question, what auto tranny came with the ls1's?
