LS swap on an 88 GTA
Car is a factory 305/ 5 speed. The license plate had expired in 1999 and I bought it last year. LOL

Here is the day I brought it home on a rollback. 4 flats and all




It didn't run and hadn't for years. The fuel pump wasn't working and the tank was so bad I had to replace tank/pump/sending unit.

Harness for LS swap




This thing looks impressive!

Mufflex cat back



UMI k member with LS mounts


Still need to get an F body oil pan to be able to install it. The factory AC position will not work with the UMI k member or so I've read so it won't be going on initially.

I still have a long way to go! Going to have the engine bay painted after I pull the 305 out.
