Sacrilege!!
At the local speed shop..........guy just bought this, removing (and selling) the original to car LS6 and dropping a 572 crate motor in it. What a shame! More money than he knows what to do with and ruining this car.

His money, his car.
But, there's a phrase for that, "More money than brains."

Re: Sacrilege!!
Twertsy at this point everything is just talk. I think you are going to be in for a big surprise when he says NO to the sale of that engine.

Re: Sacrilege!!
Buying the motor is exactly my plan. From water pump to tail end of tranny......$5k
As for "more money than brains," that's true in this case.....Amazing thing is he paid LS6 money for this car and doesn't care if he gets the money back! Just need to make sure he gives me right of first refusal when he tires of the car.........but I ain't paying what he paid. Simply because it won't have the original drivetrain!!!

Re: Sacrilege!!
Almost this exact scenario was in one of those Trosely "Krass & Bernie" episodes in HR or CC a few months ago. I think it even depicted a '70 Chevelle. Weird.

Re: Sacrilege!!
"More dollars the sense",is the phrase.
He should've never bought that Chevelle.He's not the right owner for it. Seeing as he sells speed,tell him to buy a NOM 307 Malibu to drop the 572 crate into. It'll be a stealth as well.He'll be money ahead and the hobby will be happier too.
