Nice job! I assume you have it up and running?? How do ya like it?

Are you ditching the a/c or are you gonna make it work?

Re: more thirdgen ls1 photos

thanks guys, I have driven it several times. I like it!

I miss the lopey idle and how hard my old combo pulled but the drivability of the ls1 is well worth it and I can get the same performance down the road and the ls1 will still have better manners on top of it. not to mention it's kinda a sleeper now

I plan to hook the a/c up once I get a compressor and a new dryer. I plan make this thing a real daily driver.


the pcm will stay out under the hood. although the pictures make it look close to several things like the manifold but it's not. well the air intake it very close but everything else is pretty far away.


I just have so much cleaning up to do under the hood

I will have to get some new tires too, these are several years old now = not safe

Re: more thirdgen ls1 photos

here is a picture of the outside, I took this last year but it still looks the same. I kept the stock int.

I also have the donor bcm still which I plan to hook up the door locks, hatch release. I also plan to run the Park lights, horn and run the factory vats from it. so I will have the keyless entry setup like the 4th gens

SWEET lookin' car! And yeah, I'd probably never suspect that it had anything more than about 300 hp...
