Don't discount '96 model cars just because they are OBDII. With the 6 speed cars its as easy as changing the ECM and knock sensor to convert to OBDI. Plus the 96' 6 speeds all had the mighty LT4.

They're Dana 36's stock right? Aren't they easily upgradeable to Dana 44's? Those are supposed to be pretty stout.

LT4's are nice, but I don't have any use for one right now.
What rear comes in the ZF6 equipped LT1 cars, the 8.5" Dana44? I think ZF6 LT1's have 3.45 gearing, which is great for daily driving. Although I wasn't aware they were so easy to pop. But if I understand you correctly it's more about the shafts... at what level should I worry or is it more about sticky tires like with the 10 bolt? The current motor would be around 450hp with no changes.
I'm looking for a fun daily driver that is something different and the more I read, the more I'm looking forward to burning up fuel in one...1994 Z28 383ci - Jake's 4L80 - Moser 9" [LE2 heads and LE cam - 121mph @5500DA]

All 6spd cars have the D44. Most of them came with 3.45 gears aswell. The main worry about the 6 spd cars are the dual mass flywheel. They are discountiued. The aftermarket offerings make for a noisey rattling noise. You will have to change to a push type clutch set up instead of the pull stock type.
The most expensive parts on the C4s the interiors. You are looking at 1000-1500 for a refresh.
Everything else is on par with good quailty F body parts.
Good luck with your search.

I forgot to mention that they made 2 ZF 6spds. They made a Blackc tag (german built) and a blue tag (USA built). 89-93 got the blacks and 93-96 got the blues. There is no telling when the blacks stopped and blues started in 93. The Blacks are noisier and stronger. The blues are quieter and weaker, but do shift smoother.
