the rest of the drive train is still being decided..

either cammed and carbed ls1/t56 or built 355/tko600 trans

tubular kmember, a-arms, front coilover, manual steering, no a/c, electric water pump and sphoon torque arm.

not sure which will provide the best out come but im leaning towards the ls1..ill keep everyone updated.

go with bmr on all yoru suspension stuff. since you are already spending the money you should go with chromoly. do it once, do it right, do it lite. :P
what gears are you looking at?

www.contemporarycorvette.com <<<< these guys can hook you up with a LS1 + T56 combo at a good price.

You can get a manual steering box from an S-10 (you just have to swap the pitman arm). I have one in my car now, but it will prolly end up getting replaced by a WS6 box.....

I would, but it's not mine. I'm pretty sure that it's Tim's (NJSPEEDER)....if not, then it's Bill's (foff667).

Thunder Racing sells the full manual rack for $625, but PA Racing sells the same kit on their website for only $565.

Can you retain the standard 3rd gen steering box with an aftermarket k-member?
