Hey, got any left over F-body LS exhaust manifolds? Don't fault me; I'm just keeping up with the TJ!

I've had an 86' Firebird SE, an 89' Trans AM, 87' Iroc, 88' Z, 92' RS. 1970 SS, and think that's it for F-bodies to this point lol. I've swapped the LS1 into my old 87' previously and worked on alot of 4th gens. In all honesty, your gas mileage would be pretty close to the same even with the V8, the LS1 is crazy efficient. My buddy averaged about 28mpg with his 6spd 02' SS on the highway and about 22 around town, the auto's seem to get around 19-20 around town and 24-25 on highway. I love t-tops, 3 of mine had them, the 89' TA and the 92' RS were hard-tops and of course the 70' only came in hardtop. I want to build a 92' Camaro soon, run the SS style hood like I had on my 87', 5in 3pc spoiler on the rear, arctic white paint with color matched headlight "buckets", gold GTA wheels, widened in the rear with drah radials, under the hood have a turbocharged 6.0 liter. I haven't decided if I'd go a 4L80E automatic or a 6spd. If you can't tell I'm a big f-body guy lol. I have a 68' stang in the garage now but it's the wife's new project, people point out that I have a Camaro Country sign hanging up in the garage with a stang parked in it.

The good thing is, mileage DOWN. Mine has been a weekender for 6 years now, and I am lucky to put 3k miles on it a year. If we get some crazy snows, I keep the STi at home and let the VX come out to play to get to work, but that's usually about it for any DD use. You will appreciate your VX so much more after doing this. Taking a break from it and driving it again even after a week makes it such an enjoyment.
