No , wouldn't want to cut anything up , just bolt on stuff . Already did it to our 87 442 & was too easy with bolt on stuff .

Just would be nice to have more than 100hp ! Plus the " heat soak " issues are getting old !

The three R code Mustangs (93, 96, 00) are much more rarer than a pedestrian IROC Z. Besides, factory racecar offerings are leading the way in the marketplace. Sitting on a set of these for 5 years would be money well spent right now.

Much like the stock market, its all based upon speculation.

Naw, Jim's right hand man did all the work..would have loved to though! Still can't imagine the brothers renting that car out for a shoot to get thrashed- glad the producer didn't want the Pilot LS6.

LS swap in the 442? Did I read that correctly? How about some pics in the Oldsmobile section. Sounds cool. Scot.

Gotta be a record.

Hope my '93 5.0L black LX 5-speed gets some market love soon [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

If you were closer I'd come give it some love right now. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

I love the '91-'92 Z/28s; only bad thing is no 5.7 sticks---gotta be a 5.0. Little if any hp difference between the two, but I kinda think everyone would still prefer the 5.7. There is a '91 or '92 1LE floating around with 25 miles on it. I got "sold out" about five years ago at $22,000.00. Funny thing is the heater core rotted from sitting. I had a 1LE for a short time; bought it off eBay and sold it at Carlisle within a month or two. Really a good car for the money. I'd still like to find a nice '91-'92 Z/28......key word being "nice". Lotsa weed and cheap beer when most of the original owners had them....few are what I would call nice.

The late 5.0's with the stick and big cam are generally just as fast as the 350 cars. Maybe faster with a good driver. Both can run close to 14 flat stock.

If I could find a 92 25th Anniversary edition Z28 in black with red stripes with either drivetrain in good shape, I'd snap it up.

My wifes cousin has that same LX car tucked in a garage under a cover, thinking some day a not butchered up one would be worth money (most are made into drag cars, it has that same notch back end). Its also a 4 or 5 spd. I thought he was nutts. Maybe he is not.
