There out there. I sold my L33/T56 FC 'vert for $4k. Granted it needed work, but not major work.

I actually saw that and was tempted, but I want a driver with a late model drivetrain. I AM however considering buying that and shoving an ECOTEC 2.4L in it just to prove a point.

I've got one, but it'll take a lot more than $5k to get it away from me...

The rub is all of those doors will require assembly... I just don't have that kind of time. As soon as the check hits I need to be driving the next Mofobile. I am considering a $1000 beater and buying a MGBGT an putting a High Option 6 in it with a Camaro trans but that would be a four year plan at best.

I sold an E36 325is just this AM... it was fun, but it sure could have used a 5.3 with C5 cams.

do those motors have a reputation for eating cams? why would it need more than one at a time?
