92 LS1 bird

I picked up my first convertible about 2 months ago out of miami. I drove it back home about 1400 miles. the 2 day trip gave me lots of time to come up with a plan of how to make it better.

the car is a low mile texas/florida. when i started the engine swap it still had original rad hose with a 91 date stamp on it. The old rubber on it had not been made or sold for over 12 years! guess it spent along time sitting.

here is the ls1 swap thread.

i also swapped out the int for leather
