You = win. Beautiful car, fast, yet still has that nice stock look. You are my hero.

 

i want more pics.

 

Saw the car at andersons and sheridan drive, and i was on the 190 going the oposite direction in my gn saw the car also. It sounds sick!

 

Definitely! Interior too. Maybe some track pics.
Oh yeah, What's it run?

 

very nice car. get that hood painted asap for AMAZING pics

 

looks good from what I can see.. lets see some more pics, under hood and interior.

 

Nice....that thing must be a rocket!

 

Simply amazing. Been a fan of your car for a long time.

 

bad ace. looks amazing.

 

I love that first pic....We need more pics!

 

Hope you don't mind Mike, but here's a picture of the heart

 

What year is the LS1? Your post says '99, buy I also see it listed as a '01.

Is your car SOM? I like that color!

 

very nice. I am going this route with my 92 soon, and i will be leaning hard on you guys here at TGO for help!! Did you ever get some good interior shots too?

 

Jeaaaaaalous!

 

wow.....

 

Same, i've already got the motor and tranny, just need to rebuild.

How much did the swap end up costing you?

 

sleeper.... looks like a plane jane iroc with a drop, hood and exhaust


good work!!

 

georgous cant wait to see more pics... i really am digging the dash. would like to see some more pics of the interior. im seriously considering doing this to my iroc.

 

Great looking machine! What are the plans for the hood - imho body colour would be the finishing touches to the stocker look.
Excellent work

my god is that car 'effin awesome!


I really want to buy a car and build it up like that (Even though it would be more likely that i'd put an LT1 in), but if you wouldnt mind me asking, how much did everything cost you? Did you just buy a complete wrecked 4th gen, or did you purchase everything individually?

 

Mike, I seen you guys on Union yesterday. I actually heard you all before I seen you, haha. You do some good work man. I don't think that car can get any better!

 

Oh it is going to get better, wait till u see it next year. I have alot of plans still. But i am very happy with how it all turned out. I saw u drive by twice you should have stopped in and chatted.

Total cost of everything is alot more rediculous then just the LS1 swap, the swap its self, heads, cam, clutch, everyting i did for about 7k. On top of that the full 4th gen interior, full suspension, nitrous, i have a total of about 25k into everyting not including the previous carb'd 383 with direct port i had b4 this setup.

 

Do you have any pics of the interior??

Car is just amazing!!!

 

It is a 99', i also had an 01 which i started with and was stock, got another ls1 with 24k miles and did heads cam swap plus juice. Paint is original 1988 paint, its called Medium Orange Metallic. Its in good shape for being original paint but it needs new paint, which is soon to come this winter.

Tomorrow if i remember i will snap all the finished shots of the interior, I really think thats the hottest part of the car

Thanks for all the compliments!!

mike

 

Ya car looks great, bet it sounds great too! Id like to see some snaps of the interior.

 

If Sunset Orange Metallic is SOM (a 4th gen color) does that make yours MOM?

 

LOL @ MOM.

cant wait for interior shots.

 

Wow bro, amazing job! Car looks awesome. Definately lookin forward to the interior pics. Keep us posted on the dyno #'s and time slips!

 

wow man it's very cool project my friend is doing the same,can u please tell me what was the hard job that u had to fit the engine? what about the headers? is it the same one that fit Camaro 98+ ? or u custom one? what about the tranny mounts and engine mounts? cutted anything? or direct fit they were?

 

Update, yup its faster than i thought lol, my buddy has a mitsu EVO, built motor, cams, 26psi, 75 shot of nitrous, 100 octane, exhaust, simply badass. Well we ran from 40mph - 120mph and we were dead even thru every gear. My nitrous would have put an end to the race but since hes a good friend i ran him NA. great run, neither of us pulled from 2nd gear all the way thru 4th, i'll probly never have a more even run again.

Interior Pix: I"m workin on pix of my custom door panels, i'll have those tomorrow hopefully. And i'm making covers fro the corners of the dash, they are almost done.

 

If u ever want to sell it let me know!

 

Interior looks awesome man. Very clean conversion to the 4th gen interior and dash. Well done, looks great.

 

i would have tried to keep the valve/fuel rail covers when you put the nitrous on but no matter, it looks great stilll. nice job

 

Its always for sale for the right price got alot into it, hardly anything stock. Looks great (IMO and a few others lol) and it freakin' flyes!! Going to the 1/4 this sunday, its definaetly got 10s in it power wise, now lets see if the driver can make it happen

 

LOL whats the right pirce?

 

man u didnt answer my questions !!

 

cool project....turned out awesome

 

More pics of the cage?

 

pffft all that money into the car and he holds his hatch up with a yellow broom handle lol

just breakin ***** lol i saw the video the car sounds mean

 

What is the right price? I love this ride!

 

It isnt hard to somebody who is mechanically inclined. Hawks sells all the conversion parts you need, everything fits like a charm. I had to relocate the motor and tranny 2" further back than where it mounted on the chromoly Kmember i have.

Ya i have no hatch struts now. I'm a man of priority, make it fast then touch up the loose ends thanks for the compliment.

CAge pix: i'll take some new shots here it is with the old interior.

 

car does in fact look great. I'm toying with the idea of a LS swap in my 92. I really wanna do it but it would mean selling my 67, for the $ to convert it. The 67 is bone stock, and in need of a full restore,but at the same time, i dont know if iwanna get rid of it too.

Where'd you hide / mount your Computer for it?

What Headers are you running?

You stated you had to move the engine 2" back due to your kmember... what kmember are you using?

What major snags are there when using the dash and guages? Was all the wiring all just plug and play once you converted to the new dash??

My plans are to find a wrecked 01 02 Camaro or trans am, and take the entire dash, wiring, heater box, motor, and transmission right up in my 92. I plan on going with a SPOHN K member for LS cars, as well as a T56 SPOHN Torque arm. Any comments or information is appreciated.

 

Computer is on the passenger side in the engine bay, make my own mounts for it. Heades are the Hawks LT's. I have a PA Racing chromoly Kmember, not for an LS1 its for a Gen I small block from a previous combo. dash is bolt in for the most part, Autometer guages are pretty much plug and play. All in all its alot of work in the end, alot of wiring but not hard. All the info you need can be found here on thirdgen.org, and it is very worth the swap, this thing moves!! However i dont know if i'd sell your 67 camaro to mod the 92, i'd personally keep the 67 and mod it, JMO

Time to go kill some snakes!! Cobra and Vipers are on the menu!!!

 

lol. well the 67 is pretty needing a total overhaul. Either acid dip it or soda blast it. one of the 2. Could you have used the factory guages that came out of the car that the motor / tranny/ dash/wiring came out of?

I dont know if i wanna sell the 67 or not. im in the thought process of it right now. I have my 91 z for daily driver, and my 01 z for that too.. but the pruple beast is my toy, and ive got the itch to mod it hard core again.. so i dunno. Either way beautiful job man.

 

I sold my iroc to finish my 68 vert, should be done just in time for next summer. Aslo selling my gn, going to finish the mods i want on my 67 nova and then buy another iroc. Cant go without a 3rd gen.

 

Well you know where to find the coolest one in WNY. Let me knwo if u want a whole mod list to show its worth your while After i run it in the 1/4 this sunday i may retract my previous offer lolol jk.

 

snksknrz28 where in buffalo are you located? I am about 1hr-1.5 away and would love to see that beast!
