Naptown Dave Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) = I was just going through some old pictures and thought this was funny. What is not so funny is those were not all $20s! Edited July 26, 2013 by Naptown Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd428 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I feel your pain mine cost $800 just for the t56. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I just dropped 1800 on a nicely built t56. I had been told time and time again that I could not find a core for less than 1500.... Well after waiting it out I found a local guy that had a t56 for sale. My swap is getting expensive. If I did not have a case of the well shit, while I am doing this I might as well do this....... I would be a lot better off ( money wise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naptown Dave Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Patience is definitely a virtue when looking for parts. I was about to drop $1400 on a pullout of questionable quality when the one I got came up. 2500mi rebuild with B&M shifter, LS7 clutch and fly new in the box, f body crossmember and AL driveshaft (still for sale) and hydraulics (sold) all for that pimp roll pictured above. I keep looking to see if I could have done better and nothing has come up yet. I'm at the 'death by a thousand cuts' phase of mine, it seems like everytime I turn around it's 100 here 300 there (thanks Matt!). Just got to remember that we're going to end up with cars we built that will perform well against 60k + cars and look good doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 The performance really is beyond my expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naptown Dave Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 I had an essentially free 4l60 that came with my LS but I just couldn't bring myself to put it in. I'm sure I made the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You arent spending $300 you are gaining valuable parts for you z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
