My swap is "done"

Well...They're never "done". But it's mobile and off to the body shop. I thought I had posted a thread about in here but I guess not.

Link to vid...

As you can see the bodywork hadn't been done yet. I just got the adapters for temp sender/oil pressure and will be popping those in while it's in the shop. (the place doing the work is right below my dealership).

I kind of like the charcoal color...

After some major issues getting the LS7 clutch set up with my 5.3 a tick master cylinder and slave shim I think I'm good to go. Car will get a cam by the end of the year and I've already started piecing together parts for a turbo build.

Couldn't have done it without the information shared on this board as well as LS1tech and of course, alldatapro.com.

I'm waiting on some from bumper brackets from GM because I accidentally threw away my bumper-to-fender brackets as well as bumper-to-tooltray bracket. So hopefully by mid-end of next week. I just know I better be driving it by next weekend!
