If you're looking for a swap, this is DEFINITELY one to consider.

Many of you probably only know me for my 92 2wd with a Vette swap..

If you're looking for a swap, This one's pretty expensive unless you get lucky and find a Vette/Camaro LT1/LT4 for cheap.. Here's a couple vids of my 1996 Corvette Grand sport LT4/T56 (6-Speed) swap. It may look like it, but this truck IS NOT on jack stands.. These vids were both shot ON THE STREET with STREET tires.. Enjoy.

(As a side note, plan on a big brake upgrade. I have a post that shows what parts to use for off the shelf performance brakes for less than $500. You're going to need it with this swap, most definitely.)

About 15 because I can't keep my stinkin foot out of it!!! BUT, if I manage to keep it below 2K on the tach (Still tons of power there!!) and skip shift, I can get about 22-25..

(I usually shift 1-3-4 or 1-4 in town.. Factory skipshift which I deleted, forces you to shift 1-4 if your mph is below a certain threshold to save fuel. Even just off idle around 1000 rpm the thing will put you back in the seat pretty damn good.)
