It’s just like you can go out to the midwest and buy old muscle cars at a fraction of the price they fetch here, because they don’t rust and they are more common because they can be used as DDs year round. why buy a car that could run 11s with a retune, and slow it down… putting a stock converter in it will make it a SLUG.:retardclap ---

I’m going to slowly turn this into just a nice summer DD that handles well and still gets good enough fuel milage I can afford to drive it everywhere and not have to eat kraft mac and chesse for every meal. Also the wife can’t drive stick so this is my way of trying to get her interested in the hobby by buying a car she can actually drive. ---

> [@VW R32](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/vw-r32/32886/2): > > since u like stock, bone stock u wana clean 2000 camio lemme knoooooo Well I guess I should clarify I don’t like stock, but I don’t like a 3800 stall converter for something I drive everyday and 900 bucks for a full kit to build the trans isn’t feasible for me. Neither is a few thousand when a built trans destroys the weak 10 bolt rear. I want a nice LS1 with full exhaust, intake, bolt ons and maybe a small cam. So purchasing this car as I did for the price I paid makes a lot of sense for me. It has most of the mods I want and 1 I don’t so I can fix it up and still drive and enjoy it while I do. This is much more appealing to me then saving up through this summer into next to buy a cleaner stock car and then spend more money in the long run modding it the way I want. ---

lol guess i stired the hornets nest on the 10 bolt GM reliabilty debate. I’ve personally destoryed one with normal use/abuse with a mild 350 so i don’t have too much faith in them. Some ppl have luck with them other don’t. It depends on too many factors. Either way I want a car that will run a high 12, handle well and be drivable every day and still be safe enough for me to give the keys to the wife and for her to have fun as well. So a bolt on auto LS1 should fit the bill just fine. ---

Since I haven’t updated the thread in months I guess I should get around to it. I had a guy I work with at the dealership rebuild the original trans from the car and I did install a stock stall converter. So now the car is finally drivable again just in time to put it away for the winter. ---
