Sorry to hear about your accident, but am glad your ok. Hey, if you still want a gen 3 motor for your project, you might want to part the wrecked car out to raise some cash for the engine swap. Lots of parts including brakes and suspension that people are looking for out there. Best of luck !!
Thanks guys. I thought I would have nightmares last night as I kept playing it all over in my head again and again. I tend to do things like this and then dream about them anyway. Luckily, nothing last night and I slept fine.
You're right Paul. It's in the back of my mind always. I have a second LT1 that needs a bottom end rebuild that I've thought of building. I'd love to be different but within reason of course. It'll be a while before I get into all this anyway. I'll most likely do everything in stages regardless of direction, ie get the engine and everything in and working, then start modifying. The biggest redo will be headers and turbo piping if I go that route. Everything else will be built to handle whatever I throw at it.

Sorry about your accident and your car.
The good news is that you are not hurt, that would have really sucked.
I would try ls1tech.com. Sometimes they have LT1 builds on there as well as LSx.
Good luck and sorry about the car.
That bites, it was a good looking car. But you have a sweet looking backup! I have a 96 WS6 too myself and have this very fear of wiping out in the rain. Can't wait to see your project get rolling.
