Re: some pictures of my ls swap
yep supertight under the car. LS1 intake into the stock snorkel. Wiring harness was bought. I can't remember the spring but they lowered the car 1.5"

I'd like to find a deal on a magnacharger.

Re: some pictures of my ls swap
i really like your swap, it looks very nice and clean.

one thing you may want to consider is to give that fuel filter some support... you don't want that fatiguing the lines over time by its free movement... you can easily go to your Chevy dealer and get a 4th gen fuel filter clamp and make a bracket to hold it...

my post #118 shows a pic of how i did it

you could easily do it in the location you have yours

Re: some pictures of my ls swap
Oh man. Looks like a factory install and the car is super showroom clean. Very nice job!

You may want to consider some SFCs before going the supercharged route. SFCs dramatically change the ride and handling of these cars for the better, especially when more power is introduced into a T roof car.

Keep up the awesome work.

Re: some pictures of my ls swap
WOW! Do those bikes ever bring back the memories...

I remember the day when the XR70s were the bomb. My first motorcycle was the XL version of the XR, pulled off the lights, put on a rear knobby and rode her hard till she broke. Was always envious of the XR model.

Suzuki with their laid down shocks to get additional rear suspension travel. Followed that idea on my motocross bicycle and jumped the heck out of her ... till it broke. Had an 1979 RM100 of the same vintage, had great suspension but was too slow against the worst suspended but much faster YZ. Swapped over to the YZ mid race season.

When Yamaha came out with the Monoshock. Unheard of at the time!

I was a motorcycle mechanic in my early teens back in the 80s and pulled a lot of those bikes from the factory crates, assembled them and pushed them onto the showroom floor. Good times...

Super Cool collection!!! Thanks for sharing.

Stock 10 bolt, the car isn't really a hot rod but more of a fun car.
