LS1 swap turned sheet metal fest



This is my wonderful sage of a LS1 swap.

Long story short, landed a deal on a complete LS1 setup 2 years ago(maybe a little less) and was working a ton.

Got the car home and tore it down to do the swap and of course, the last @!@$%!$ spot in the engine bay that I had to clean up was rot........

So the thread below is where I was documenting it on the NW IN/South chicago board. Hardcore firewall surgery began as of today and we made some amazing progress, my schedule will slow it down.

I will tell you that I am stoked. I got the twitchies back and I want to see this thing run. I keep imagining shiny 91 Formula with LS1 in my head.
I will be doing this this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will, if we can get a solid 3-4 days for work we could knock this all out, our schedules have us all over the place so its hard to get together.
