Hello,
I have a 68 Camaro and am going to start restoring it. I have come across an 02 Z06 with a supercharged LS6 engine that has been wrecked. Car has 50k miles and a vote here supercharger with headers. I would be using the motor/computer and all the brakes. It was a front end impact. I looked at the car last night, and the Trans mount is ok; but the engine is pushed to the drivers side quite a bit. The plastic valve cover is against the power booster. The car does crank over, and all pulleys seem to spin freely. The shifter feels like there is resistance on it from binding. I am going to look at it again tonight, is there anything else I should check?

thanks,
Travis

not sure but if you do buy it id be interested in the rear marker lights and possibly the side view mirrors

Make sure the crank pulley didnt take a hard hit. Its real close to the frame & rack in those cars.

Throttle body inlet is another easy to crack item, but pretty simple of course.
Are you planning to try & utilize the vette IRS with torque tube & rear mounted trans, or get a normal 6 speed?
