LS1 swapp finished! updated pic

figured why stop with the interior?
added a 2004 6.0L with a huge futral custom cam.
GM efi intake with the edelbrock carb set up.
went ahead and did the fans and radiator while i was at it.
z06 manifolds, and a bunch of other lil LSx stuff.
runs strong, revs like a madman.
just gotta tidy up some wires and make an alternator bracket.
EDIT: i got the ign box mounted.

it says "custom th350 6 speed". are you running a gear vendor? how does it fit with the torque arm? or are you running ladder bars, too?

I've got a great video of how this shifter works if anyone is interested. It's with the old dash, but it works the same.

It's a good video isn't it TJ?



Engine looks awesome.

Why is it so easy to see the ground next to the motor... is it hanging there or what?
