If you all are willing to share your swap logs with other TGO members and viewers I am willing to maintain the list. Who knows may be Sticky worthy someday.

I will keep an updated list of all completed or ongoing swap threads in the first post of this thread. To start with, there can be (input welcome) LSx swaps and LTx swaps and as the list grows there can be other catagories to help people narrow there search to their specific application.

Links to threads will only be posted upon request, this helps keep the thread live with more than one person posting here. If we get 10 link requests I'll go ahead and plug mine in there.

Provide a little information about your thread in the request if not appearant in the title of your thread (i.e. vehicle, year, existing config, new engine/trans) this will help organize the list as it grows.

Links to threads will be ordered oldest to the newest (unless you all think that's not fair). Well here goes, ideas and input greatly appreciated;

Note that one of these is from another site, LS1tech, and the last one is an LT1 swap. If you were only looking for autobiographical solicitations, then I apologize for proposing project threads on behalf of others.

I think it's a great idea to keep a list of these. They could almost use their own subforum.

Thanks!

Awesome, I'll get yours added. Mine will be slow until I get back to work.

newZman

Thanks for the post Darren. Yeah I thought about just going around collecting as many swaps and organizing them into a list and posting it but, I thought where's the fun in that. I would like it if folks would plug their own threads, I think it personalizes things, keeps it all TGO threads and gets everyone involved. Get your thread going so we can get it added to the list .

newZman

Come on folks there are no LTx links yet and I see several threads on the first page of the LTX and LSX message board that have some great information that should be made readily available and shared.

Both are '82 Berlinettas. The LS1/4L60E was originally a V6 car that had an '86 305 LG4 swapped in, and then a ZZ4-clone 350.

The LS1/T56 car was originally an LG4 car.
