5.9 worth looking at ?????????? from local craigslist

Nice... Cheap enough, still a decent price,for even a usable core..

If you do the Keg mod's, replace the cam, springs and timing set, match the ports on the heads and intake to the gaskets, reseal the entire motor, throw a set of Summit headers on it, and get the ECM reflashed with an SCT Tuner; you'll have a solid 12 second A-Body. I did this exact thing on mine, but it ended up having a bad ring pack on #1 with only 90 psi cranking compression. It was still a fast car. I later rebuilt it to 408".
