Pheery patrick still has his ls1 volvo for sale at a decent price. Would make a good start! This is always something I've wanted to do too. Certainly surprise some camaro/mustang/corvette owners.

Auto right now but I am going to convert to a tko 5speed

Gotcha. My buddy has/had a 740 turbo 5-speed. Ultra-rare. I think it may have come from Canada.
