    Chevy owner again, and its a G-body.

    Well I sold everything but my stock WRX and the family minivan....needed a project I wont finish:
    558526_10151756975235698_223018607_n.jpg
    About as rough as they come less a solid chassis and decent interior. Used to have a 1980 El Camino with a 327 and 4 speed I miss and wish I still had. My last chevy was my 1994 Impalla SS, have owned several GM RWD cars years back. Like to drop an LT1 or LS in with little to no body work, just a beater with some chassis work to handle the corners and not feel bad about driving it thru crap.

    Good thing I sold a complete LS and ecm to a member...knew I would need it after selling everything! Sold my old Lincoln to another member, that 4.6 DOHC and trans would look cool in a Camino.

    I got a coss member for dual exhaust for a G body metric, new from JEGs. Had it for a project for a guy and he backed out of the upgrade.

    Double hump crossmember! My wallet will probably afford a custom MillerMatic mod but if I find some cash I will call you on it!

    My right foot found an issue with bed last night, think the paint was all that made bed look solid. Apears stupid easy to pull body, when the time comes I would like to strip for chassis boxing and trailer arm welding before dropping the rusty body on. Just a dream now but its an ez project my AADD wont get my mind too lost in. Tool guy already offerd to drop off a tiny hoist for my garage...another undone project!

    If you need an LS, my 5.3 would suit that well.

    I had to read about them, I thought only GN's had them. Is that an LS rear or open?

    Cruising the net today, yah that's a desirable rear end your wife has I'll pay and swap my 7.5 into her 8.5, then we sell her car as if its untouched. Win win!

    One other option for the smaller 26 spline 7.5 metrics is to get a posi from a late model firebird or Camaro and use the 28 spline up grade and then get a set of aftermarket axels in the 28 spline count and your set.

    I'll be happy if I find a used lt1 car to repower, slicks would probably test the balsa wood 10 bolt
