as you may or may not know. ive been looking into an M6 swap for my 97 T\A. but im starting to think it might be easier to just do a straight up even trade for an M6 T\A. never in a million years would i have thought i would let my baby go. i love this machine and it in my opinion its in very good shape.
What i want: Preferably an LS1 T\A with an M6. comparable miles and or condition. must have leather and T-tops. i will settle for an LT1 car but i would like that to be modified.
What ive got: 1997 Trans am 89,xxx miles ive only had thr car 4,000 miles and its already had two oil changes as well as a coolant flush. LS1 front bumper conversion with WS6 ram air hood T-tops that dont leak, automatic trans shifts great has a B&M trans shift controller which just basically stiffens up the shifting. ive gotten the car repainted all black, its got red accenting on the doors and bumpers. grey leather interior very clean, minus a rip in the drivers seat. Thrush two chamber muffler that sounds deep and controlled not too loud its also got an electronic cutout. Heres a basic list of things ive fixed and other mods i might have forgotten.
+ New Alternator
+ Ebay metal CAI
+ New Serpentine Belt
+ New Trans mount
+ Duralast Gold Brakes
+ 18" chrome MKW wheels wrapped in 275/40 tires.
+ LPE 160 Degree Thermostat.
+ Turn signal fixed
+ Antenna ( replaced with a fixed mast) i think it looks better.
+ Fixed window motor
+ Removed white stripes and all sun damage, sprayed black (has red accenting)
+Thrush 2 chamber muffler.
+ Updated interior lights with L.E.D's
+ Recovered headliner
+ 3" Electric cutout on stock Y-Pipe Thanks to Sam ( S.Reef)
It really only needs
+driver side foglight needs to be adjusted, but both shine on the road great.
+Tires and one rim has a very slow leak
+ Hatch weatherstripping (doesnt leak at all)
+ Crack in dash.
+ radio work, the radio in it doesnt get very good reception for some reason.

357ci LT1, cammed, stalled, and driven. 
if mmy auto trans had a first gear that I could hold to any rpm then I might be okay. But the smallest gear is 2nd and it just doesn't pull the way I think it should or the way I know a manual car would.
