We finally got the video together that we made during my LT1 swap. My chief mechanic was also the camera man and editor. Thanks for all those who helped out, especially Klortho whos wiring advise made things 1000 times easier. Comments welcome,

good job man!!! Now its time to swap in some heads and nice lumpy stick!!

 

i know the feeling on the power. nice job.

 

Looks good, was more than happy to help out man.

 

funny video

On a side note... where did you get those firebird wheels with inner parts painted blue???

I'm only asking because as a LONG time thirdgenner I believe I was the first to make wheels just like that, few years back I sold my polished blue wheels locally in MA so I'm really curious if you just did the same thing or if my wheels traveled around the country and ended up on your car

 

My wheels came with the car when i got it a year ago. I believe they were colormatched last time the car was repainted(i'm going to guess 4-5 years ago) The paint is peeling slightly on the wheels in a few areas, and they are stock grey under the blue. The silver finish is factory too, never has been polished.

 

Looks great, have fun with her.

 

ah ok, guess someone just copied me

 

That wheel makes me sad I sold my Formula wheels for GTA wheels.. Looks very nice!

 

How did you do the wiring? I plan on doing the same thing but i'm starting with a TPI harness.

 

I used the stock LT1 harness and just spliced it in with the factory dash wiring

 

wow that video makes it look easy!!!! great job guys, Im planning on doing this now, since my 305 tbi took a dump on me tonight.

 

Nice video, hope mine goes that fast....about 2 months out to start. Will be a ton of fun in the Texas heat.

 

The video encumpases about 3 weeks time. The physical swap took only a few days. The rest was "details." It was in January, so most of it was spend on single digit days(Brrr....). I'd take texas heat over WI cold any day of the week
