LoL I know how that is...common problem I heard is the rear main seal and valve cover.

Two of those things which I will replace sometime. Either before or after the swap.

Looking to put in a 6spd transmission, but haven`t heard of or found anything that will bolt up with minimal modification. Also need it to hold up to the hp I am planning to do.

As for motors thought about LS1, but just won't feel quite right in the engine bay even though it sounds and looks sick. Also thought of RB26TT, but that means no emissions.

The search is still on!
