Default Going to need help!

I just bought a 93 LT1 6 speed. It is in piece the motor is a mess. Looks like a lifter froze up and sent metal all through the motor. I am not sure if I am going to rebuild it or just get a reman or a low miles used one. I am going to need help with getting everything back together. I will be requesting a lot of photos

Yes, .................................. how much you want for them! And you probably need long tubes and not those mid lengths, so whats the price on them? LOL

Thats a good looking car. Rims look good on it IMO.

I am sure the front will sit a little lower once it has a motor and tranny back in it . I kinda like the rims but I was thinking since is a 2000 SS clone that I would get a set of the SS 17 inch rims. I guess it depend on how things go.

I am looking for 325 HP and 27 MPG daily driver to replace my V6. I pretty sure I can get that with the LT1. I would need a pretty good reason to do all the extra work/cost the swap would cost.
