I'm not rigging it to get to or from work. Or hoping it doesn't die in a road trip. Gm LS and LT based engines are solid. Not running around in a I4 or V6 platform. I will never own anything less than a V8 platform with a single/center cam.
Accurate statement, I must add, having a Toyota vehicle too, you tend to not visit junk yards as often and I know this for experience :D

I have some of my best car memories from running around old junkyards as a kid.

I remember one in Michigan called Schramm Auto that was really impressive - when GM shut down F body production in St Therese, they picked up a bunch of the leftover parts and they sold quick. I remember seeing a complete Camaro dash assembly like they would install at the plant and it even had a build sheet in the glove compartment. Completely new. I was thinking about grabbing it but it had the V6 gage cluster.

Around here they still have a local pick and pull called Neals. Apparently they have half price on Wednesdays.

Yep. They like to short out due to their location and will trigger the CEL.
