Don't worry - tools, guns and deadly martial arts are all part of my planned Daddy-Daughter time.

Our Father/Son/Mom time has been race track and car shows. And of course fireworks.

The only things I miss about my buick are the instant torque and the cool whistle.

LS power is pretty nice - they don't leak and parts are available nearly everywhere.

Now if I could stop munching t56's - but I have a plan for that 4l80 :)

I'm sorry Mike...but for road course racers with TR's the prerequisite for selling is running the road course at SMP at Mix N Match.

Nice buy.  That thing is sure to turn heads.  You can never have too many wagons...

I know, right?  It is definitely going to need a stereo system upgrade (MP3 ready deck, highs, mids and lows etc).  I think I can fit a good sized subwoofer in the spare tire well.  :tongue

Unfortunately we'll just have to leave that box unchecked.

I had two Gran Prix's that had that dash - I always preferred that over the TR dash/gauges.

Yeah you can actually retrofit real gauges in there.  Now I just have to find an uncracked one... shouldn't be too hard. LOL!

Right now my drivetrain options are looking like either an LS3/TR6060 swap from eBay, L92/6L80E swap from eBay, or parting out our Camaro for the LS1 and getting my mitts on a stout 6 speed manual to back it.

After that... boost.
