A local guy around here did that same thing just to prove a point to the mustang guys. Hell the video posted might be him....didn't watch the video.
But the car ran like a raped ape with the little 4.8l in it.
I say go for it.

Update! I am going to get the car tomorrow. Do I buy a used ls1 shortblock, or drop the 4.8 with headers and small cam? Bout the same cash wise.

Thanks!

Go LS1 or go home.

4.8 would be different though.

Here's the link to that thread, a 4.8 Trans Am:

I've got a 5.3L equipped 2000 Z28...it's not so bad (could use some heads/cam, stall, gear, and a bottle don't get me wrong). With mac mid-length headers and ORY and a Flowmaster muffler it did 290rwhp....stock tune, stock LS1 intake.

It's for sale BTW!
