go price a replacement t-56 and you'll see why. even used six speeds can drop some pockets fast. 8500 for a 98 with mods and a broken manual trans. seems like a recipe for a car that wasnt driven much but when it was it was driven hard. even in running condition that car would be a hard sell for 7 grand. id say cash in hand that car would be worth 6-6500. if it was an 01-02 then you might be able to pull 8500, but not for a 98.

If you could get a 97 Vette for 10,000 or a 01 Vette for 20,000 and they both have the same miles and options you wouldnt get the 97 because of the Heads?? I would not care. 241 casting vrs 853 casting its still a LS1. Thing that hurt the older LS1's is the rod bolts if you want to make 500hpish. If your like me and just wanted a Vette to cruise and do bolt ons I dont care what year C5 it is as long as its a good deal.

Correct. I would not buy a 97 or 98 vette. Or a 98 f-body. I also said MAINLY before I said heads. There are other small things that I I would prefer to have or not have in my cars that those years don't accommodate
