Jeez bro, your younger than me and I work full time and not even I have money to do that lol I wish I could though. Good finds though, should be good to have 2 running Z28s when your done.

I just went and bought a 85 Z28 today for 500..practically stole it..fools couldnt get it started..Its got holley street dominator intake holley 750 double pump carb..headers..real big cam..its a 350..built to the hill..haha.. I still dont know which direction im going to go..probly going to trade the f150 to both of those z28s and get them running...that'd make 4 z28s lol.. I'd have 3 ls1s..1 lt1..1 straight 350. The 85 isnt pretty at all..but she'll be pretty. Sucks all the Z's are autos..cant get ahold of a manual for some reason.. Anyways guys I'm thinking about saving my ls1 that i got and waiting for the 85's 350 to blow and swapping the ls1 in it. Ideas? I also got a e30 bmw I could do a swap into but it'd be a tough one.

The LS1 into the 3rd gen would be a great project. There are kits for the engine mounts available, you can get the info from Camaro Performers mag they have compainies advertising about that all the time. It is alot simpler to swap an LS1 into a 3rd gen than it is to swap the LT1 for an LS1.

Well as of right now I'm going to see if the 350 it has just falls on its face or if it runs alright..It sure does sound pretty good.. Does anyone know where I can get a Y-pipe for shorty headers..fools never put the exhaust together..Its practically got a brand new catback system but I'm in need of a y pipe to hook the headers up to the rest of the exhaust.. The car isnt really pretty, but one of these days it will.. I'm starting to think I got a car lot outside now..haha..this makes..6 cars. Heres a picture of it, poor ol thing..
