The 305 has just got to go. 190hp when the new 2010 v6 is knocking down 306 while getting 29mpg is driving me nuts.

My genius plan is to do a swap to an ls1, however I will likely not start it for a few years but I want to know what I should be looking for. So what is best, getting an engine and buying everything separate or finding a donor car and making the swap that way?

I need some time to get projects done around the house and with the current economy I am gonna need some time to save $. After the new paint I would also like some time to drive this thing around.

Any and all help would be welcome as I have a lot of time to make this decision.

It would most likely be easier if you had a whole car to swap from. That way there are a lot of little things you can swap over to use that you wont have to hunt forums/junkyards for. Buying a pullout isnt a bad idea, just make sure everything you will need is included. some people that sell pullouts dont give you things like a shifter, some of the accessories, no pedals or clutch hydraulics, etc.

When you get more serious about doing this swap, send me a pm. Im an LS1/f-body parts dealer in the midwest and can hook you up as i have already helped out a few board members already. i can either get you a whole car to get everything out of, or i can just get you the pullout with some of the other important parts you might want to change over. I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
