    So long story short, I can get a really really good deal on a V6 FBody. I really wanna take the deal but I have my built transmission and no clue what I should do :P

    Sooo... who wants to buy a heavily built 4t65e

    Thoughts on the Fbody?

    Condition? Color? Trans type? Lot's of variables. I'm sure you could find a buyer for your trans too.

    No point in an F Body unless you got V8.

    Great condition. Just needs some paint work... which I can get done for cheap....Its a manual but the conversion to auto is not a hard one. Would drop in a 4t80 or th400.

    The trans would sell in short time, I think. But not for anywhere near what is invested.

    No jab intended seriously, but a really really good deal on a V6 fiberglass door Camaro would have to be... well, less than a couple day's pay even if it runs OK. My advice would be to keep looking until one that requires less mods to be what you want turns up, or to explore other options fully in case theres another one you might like better. I am biased however, because I have disliked the 4th gen from day 1. Glued plastic doors and roof, I'm out!

    Near free is the cost.... And its a basically a direct swap of the GP motor with a little exhaust work

    I thought there was an issue with starter location FWD vs RWD. Haven't researched. I have seriously entertained the idea of snipping the GP floors and grafting Camaro stuff in. There ya go, your sleeper solution. shhh

    do it. V6 f-bodys that are turbo are killer. A two second google search will back that up.

    But no f-body ever built will be as nice a DD as your GP. Not sure your size, but they're tiny, no HUD or other cool stuff, and ride like sh1t. I guess our GP's ride like sh1t too, but still.

    Just keep the turbo GP and buy the F-body and turbo it too.

    Even if its a V6 Fbody, the v8 front crossmembers are pretty easy to come by, iirc some of the v6 fbody cars came with the same rear suspension and rear end gearing as the v8s, I thought I saw this somewhere it was a specific RPO code, plus you can get a low mileage vortec 5300 for like $400 or so.
