You bought a 47k mile car but it was probably treated like shit it’s whole life, warm up never taken seriously, reving high when it’s cold, and just beat on.
Just LS swap it at that point. It’s challenging but you have the experience.
I saw somebody swap a LT4 into a e92

I’m afraid you’re exactly right. I figured the chances of a cab having been beat to death were lower than a coupe, but who knows what kind of life this thing lived. LS swap is not an option. If I wanted a Camaro I would have just bought a Camaro. I always missed the S65 since I moved on to other cars and wanted another in the garage. (Didn’t expect to need to buy 2…but here we are lol)
