I want to go to RI and pick up the one on the left

The truck on the left looks very pissed off. Just look at it. Its angry. Might be another christine kinda thing. Beware.

The van on the right is pretty cool, too. I bet there is enough acid/coke/resin caked into the interior that licking the floor would induce an incredible high.

Shame theres no market for it in winter.

You can put a t56 6 speed out of an ls series camaro or vette onto the newer 6 liters. That is the plan with my truck.

My plan was to swap in an ls1 from an ss camaro. I would love to do an ls6 swap more then anything but its way too expensive, even an ls1 seems a bit out of my grasp, so i may just settle for a 350.

You can pick up a 5.3 for under a grand. A decent amount of guys are swapping their 5.3 or 4.8l for 6.0 liters.

I found a bunch on ebay, they all had like 90k some miles on them though, I'm lookin for a low mileage engine, i would like to hook up an sts kit, mainly for the different factor.

Would that work on the hybrid one too?

As far as the 305 goes, I'd suggest getting a 350. Better engine, stronger, longer life. A lot more popular and the 305 has a crappy cam in it anyway.

Look on car-part.com for the engine. You should be able to find a low mileage one on their.

As far as the hybrid tranny question I have no clue. I am not a big fan of hybrids.
