Hope you get all the bugs and crap figured out soon so you can drive it and not worry about noises and sgit
Vette is super tempting, I think its fits what I would use the car for...but this weekend made me realize I want one even more, I have "v8 envy" as Shawn put it lol.

This weekend, we pulled out my buddies 09 G8 GT motor and swapped on ported/polished heads with bigger valves, cleaned up everything like piston tops, installed big ass cam, 3200 stall torque converter and put everything back together.

We pulled the motor to do this...it took two solid days for everything basically, not really hustling or knowing exactly the easiest ways to do shit. It's settled, I need an LS motor, so awesome and easy to work on. It was so easy to get the motor in and out, z06 time I think
