and if its an auto its prolly gonna take a dump soon...... from my experience chevy auto's only last about 100k and then its just a matter of time before they go out and need a rebuild........
but t-5 t-56's last forever as long as they arent abused/given too much power........ clutch might go out but thats nothing.........
same thing for the lt1's (from what i've read) they last a while if taken care of.........
you could always just save a bit of extra cash and rebuild it as soon as you get it too........
good to know thanks! also is there an easy way to tell between a 350 and a 305 I want to get one that allready has a 5.7 in it.
