A stock replacement. To buy it, get it installed, and also have the flywheel resurfaced, and a few other things done, it did only cost around $650 though. But, it's only a matter of time before it goes, since I have 3.73's and a few bolt-ons.
ahhh get those labor charges outta there. that's why you gotta learn to do it yourself somehow. I learned ALOT about my car when I swapped out my motor for a cobra motor, I had a guy from a local performance shop come down and help us out, only charged me $300 for the whole swap(it took a lot of time with running and getting parts to troubleshooting things) so I got a heck of a deal. I did hear those f-bodies are hard to work on though with the engine set back to far.
They're a b*tch to change spark plugs. That's for sure. I tried that earlier and wound up getting pissed off, because I kept burning myself on the headers. So, I gave up and decided I'd do it tomorrow night instead. lol
What kind of a dumbass does that after they run the engine?

The car had been off for like an hour and it was only ran for about 10 minutes before the hour cool-down. They weren't outrageously hot. But, it was just annoying when I was trying to do it and just added more frustration to it.
Changing Spark plugs on either LTx, LSx setups is much easier than changing a clutch on an SN95 car thats for damn sure. I've never seen so many cuts and nicks in my hand as when I helped my buddy change the clutch in his 1996 GT... (what I mean by helped was he started to do stuff...then I ended up just doing it all myself)

Chill bro the "" meant I was kidding. I know how it goes changing the spark plugs on LTx and LSx cars....it sucks.
lol. I knew you were kidding. I didn't mean for it to sound like I was getting bent outta shape about it. I was too lazy to change them again tonight. I've got other things to do with the gf anyways. Plus, my buddy found half my spark plugs (still in the box) out in the driveway last night after I left. I guess I left the box sitting somewhere on my car and wasn't paying attention and drove off. The box was a little beat up and sorta crushed, but the spark plugs looked perfectly fine still, on inspection. lol.
