LT1 Swap finished!!!!

5 and a half lazy months and its finished, she fired up and idle very smooth for having only open headers

turns out bad injectors was my problem so I got another set coming this week.

Big Thanks go out to TexasLT1, Pasky, Z28R1cer, Thirim, and everybody else.

Only things left for me to look after are the little things.

Which is also my question, need ideas on mounting the PS reservior.

I used a 3800 power steering reservoir and mounted it where a v6 battery or in the case of v8s, charchoal canister is. I have the hoses going along my wonder bar up to the side of the radiator. I just cut two notches in the bracket to bend the bracket at a 90* angle.

The area is more cleaned up now and that hose coming from the steering box now goes underneath.

Ill have to grab one of those, so it's the V6 Bracket? and res? or just the bracket.

and it looks like enough room for my PCM as well, as it will sit where the charcoal canister was.


Also this LT1 swap has also confirmed/completed an LS1 Plastic tank install as well.!!!
