Damian, thanks for the offer. I may take you up on for small stuff at some point, but my days of spending weekends on shit is over until retirement.
It's going to ls1z28 this Friday, who did most of the heavy work on the original conversion on Friday. If it's cam knock and it probably is, the block has to come out. I have pretty much everything on quick connects and the engine is free relatively free from obstructions, etc., so it is "relatively" easy compared to some cars, but still a lot of work. I figure between the initial cam knock, clutch and brakes issues I'm looking at a couple g parts and labor. I *might* pop in some new lifters while it's out since there is apparently something like 15HP sitting on the table there. I'm going to avoid "while I'm at it itis" though.
IF I could sell this in the 20 range and get a Z in the 30 range, it's pretty tempting (other than it's not so unique as what I have.) Turns out good condition TPs are really more like $60k+ for what I want, and while I could technically afford it, I don't want to direct that much cash towards a toy.

But a decent condition C6Z in the 30 range is probably still a bit of a Unicorn.

I want a white one, but it is VERY rare that I see white vettes at all, much less a Z

Blue, White and Black or Silver would be my preferences for a Z. But not that Sky Blue, Dark Blue. Murdered out black is kind of cool, if cliche.

I just don't want to be lumped in with the Hurley shirt wearing guys on their way from the tanning salon to the strip club if I can help it.

It's the kind of thing you'd like if you like that kind of thing.
