Hey All,
I've been building this car for the past two years, built it for Auto-x and mainly street driving. the car started out as a stock L28 inline six, and was removed by myself for the ls1. The ls is from a 99 Camaro SS along with the T56. both had 90,xxx miles on them. The engine has been rebuilt since then, it has about 5,000 miles on it, I have a laundry list of things that I did...

There is a lot of extra parts I am not mentioning and will be included if purchased, mainly they are stock components, extra interior bits, I have all the original A/c lines, loads of extra things...

**FOR TRADE**
I would like a FD RX-7 I don't care about the color, however if its stock you'll need to add some depending on certain things obviously, I'd consider Subaru's, Evo's, maybe even s14's/15's, 510's, mainly looking for an Rx-7 93 and newer
