Just another run of the mill gen III swap into a old turd gen...

Bought it for 3k in 05... Decent body and a crapfireinjection, that was soon gone for a carb/h/c swap then sold that motor to buy an ls in 07. About the only bad thing about buyin the motor was it was a truck motor and the guy who had it b4 me used some parts off it to build is new motor..So i was stuck hunting down parts not only for the conversion but alot of other stuff!

Id like to thank ls1tech also for the help this site has given me! I have been doing this by myself (body and motor) with the help of this site and books!

Heres what i have been doing lately...simultaniously body/ motor work! Enjoi...





Heres what the car colors looked like on the fin, and i will go back to the same colors (pic doesnt do any justice tho, when waxed n clean it was purrty) Many dents, macoesc paint job and the car fallin of a trailer once persuaded me to repaint




NOW...on to the good stuff!






My little work corner..


SOME more fun goodies



Finally...Where the work happens, a 1000sq ft...2post lift shop me and my dad share! Tried talkin him to put an Ls into his porshe, but was a no go!

Cool - nice to have a lift available to you, should make things a bit easier.

thx for the words.....ya its nice having a lift but it does me no good when my dads porshes are constantly on there

as i was trying to button up the bottom end up and found out either my oil pump pick up tube was wrong (got from dealership) or the windage tray is wrong..... I cant get the oil pan to sit flush on the front SO..im thinkin its the oil pump pickup tube more or less!

i have some questions tho....the oil pump pick up tube i got only utilizes 1 bolt to hold it down, but my block has 2...Will this affect anything just as long is a tighten it down correctly?

Also would i have to change my windage tray over to an fbody one to work with the fbod oil pan /pu tube?

Anyone got a windage tray and pick up tube lyin around for sale?

IIRC, mine just had the one bolt as well.

Even if it's not absolutely necessary, I seem to remember reading somewhere that it's best if you do...

they all come with single bolt, second hole is for configuration of diff. pickup tube/pan.
prefer to keep fbody pan, with matching tube and tray.
dont try to mix and match tubes and trays, if you are not familiar with them.
