You aren't wrong. I did look further into doing that, but honestly I don't want to. I bought this car with a rebuilt title. The body will never be worth that much, and I don't plan on selling it.

This looks really nice. I will plan on doing this with my swap. It looks like that intake uses the LS3 MAF. Is that correct? Do you plan on swapping from the LS2 MAF to LS3 MAF?
