this summer i finished up a ls1 swap on this 85z. Ive done several ls swapped thirdgens with t56, and this was my first 4l60e so wiring was a bit more time consuming.

We ditched the 355 cammed. w/ carburetor / 700r4 and went with a 02 ls1 and 4l60e

Cam, supporting mods, a stall, racing inn. headers, and going with a nice exhaust set up. Has c5z brakes and suspension goodies.

interior we ditched the 3g interior and went with a 4g camaro dash, functional hvac for heater and 4g cluster all functional. tcc switch, hooked up . 3g shifterunder the 4g center console. parking neutral switch wired up !

4g fuel tank with aero pump n fuel access door, 4g fuel lines,

i always use spohn motor mounts and hawks double hump transmission member for optimum exhaust clearance. it looks like its going to be a tight fit on passenger side and driver side by the 4g ls1auto shifter selector. (needs to be bent for better clearance)

oil pan clearance was tight we did a notch on the original k member, used 4g fbody pan.

i have a total of 10 days minimum 6-10 hour working days. now we need a tune by ryne cms in murrieta and exhaust.

truck trans dipstick was a fail so ill be looking for a fbody dipstick .
the hawks tranny member needs a new hole slot to position the trans properly and centered.

 

few others 3gs completed

 

Looks great. Yeah those long tubes make the rest of the exhaust a pain in the dick. I moved my o2's further down a bit to clear the trans shift bracket.

 

Lookin good dude

 

yeah. welder should take care of that for us.

 

Its gona be a beast!

 

Nice work buddy!

 

Looks great!! Engine bay is clean looking. 10 days, nice. I'm learning, just get out there and start wrenching.
