Finally gonna post a pic. LS1

I finally decided I should show a pic of how nice my LS1 sits in the Engine bay. I wasnt gonna post because so many already have and i dont want peopel to think its getting old... Gives me a hard-on when I look at it in there.... LOL

I still have some detailing to do under the hood. How does the wiring look?

Ceramic coated '02 manifold that I custom ported primaries to match my stage III heads. MSD wires and the Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator.

That's a very nice clean swap, my friend! Since I have a
Ramjet 350 that use's the LS1 throttle body, I need to make
a custom intake for it. What did you use coming off of the
throttle body? Is that from the LS1 engine?

Looks like crap in there. Ahh, J/K with ya.

The swap is not that hard, is it? The wiring looks good, but you could wrap up those wires over by the relays. All in all it looks sweet.

Hows the 700R4 holding up?

Nah, once I really got intot he thick of it it all started to come together. Yeah, those wires are exposed because I am hooking up a manual TCC lockup switch. The 700R4 is still in one peice for now. LOL We will see how long it lasts.

Nice looking setup!!

Now that we have a few of these things built would anyone care to share 1/4 miles times? The only thing that is going to hold me and others back is tha fact they no one makes a good set of LTs for the swap.

Are you gonna keep the air intake like that? Or are you gonna buy something aftermarket?
