NAh bud, I was considering another F-body but its time for a change. I am going with an 04-07 CTS-V. I've always drooled over them, now its time I own one. My Trick Flow heads will fit on the LS6. I gotta look into possibly putting on the Procharger. Not sure if they make a kit yet though. I haven't looked into it yet.

Go for the V then. Great choice. Look up MSD-V. It sold on eBay a few months back. E-VILLE lookin car.

You can use this as a reference as to what can be done with one...

sweet,get that thing restored!!!

my first car was a '69 Impala/Caprice classic coupe. Glacier Blue w/a white vinyl top. it was sitting in a field in nebraska and got it for $100. we dropped a 427 in it and converted from a column automatic to a munice 4-speed on the floor.

damn thing was a tank that hauled ass!!!

**9t8z28** · 07-24-2011, 12:43 PM

I just added up all of the mods I put into the car. The total was over $21,000 !!! Am I F-in nuts! Progressive (the other insurance company) said they would give me 50% of the total of the mods.

**9t8z28** · 07-24-2011, 12:45 PM

Yeah, we are slowly working on it. I got a NOS 69 Impala fender from Hubbards Impala parts. I go to shows with him and he picked it up at a swap meet in Moultrie Georgia. They do haul ass and they are a tank! Thats whats so great about them!

**cammed goat** · 07-24-2011, 12:45 PM

Yikes!!!

**pajeff02** · 07-24-2011, 01:00 PM

Jebus! Just saw this thread -- very sorry Brandon. At least your father is ok and you can save the speed parts for another build. Stuff like this almost makes me afraid to drive our car anymore.

**cammed goat** · 07-24-2011, 01:18 PM

And what also sucks is that Bran talked about rebuilding the motor when I saw him at Carlisle. That woman was a MORON!!!

I am starting to like the Silver with black gut.

I just test drove one yesterday with 30K miles on it. It was beat real bad and I am glad he showed me the CARFAX cause it had the oil pump replaced. The customer drove it that way to the dealer! And the rad was replaced. The rear sounded like it was ready to go. It woulda been great if it blew while I was driving it!!

**9t8z28** · 07-24-2011, 03:24 PM

Yup, I was already to order the BRUTE SPEED blower cam and yank out the block. I was even looking for an LS6 block. Almost bought it to. Thank god I didn't
