Couple pics of my swap

Just wanted to share a couple pictures of my swap. I have sorted out every last detail and have been driving her everyday for the last month. It could not have been possible without all the information you can find on this site. Thanks guys!

That's sweet as hell man, looks like you did a really good job, congrats!

BTW, what's that panel from that you used to isolate the air filter? Seems like I've seen that once or twice, but never heard what it's from...

That engine looks like it belongs there and came like that from factory. Thats what I am shooting for.
Congrats on a very clean swap.

Re: Couple pics of my swap

Thanks for the replies. I tried really hard to route everything as clean as possible and to keep it looking relatively factory. I still don't like how the LS1 fuse/relay box is mounted, but it will do for now. I'll probably change that around next time I pull the engine but I'm having too much fun driving it now...

V8Rumble, the panel around the air filter is 18 gauge aluminum that I cut and bent to fit.

Re: Couple pics of my swap


Nice very clean.... Coil covers help... I have them too--
But yours is pretty Blue--
I like the Cold air intake--
and no overflow or windshield washer tank--
I don't have them either--
Maybe I should use duel filter--
