Hey All:

Google yields surprisingly lame results for this.

Here's your chance to show off your swap. ha!

THanks for any help

I just finished my swap in my 71. I can email or text pics to you, but they are apparently too large to upload here

Oh oh I wanna play!



OK, so its not a great shot of the bay and its not finished. I'm just happy to FINALLY be able to share one of my engine bay.

If you want some good Nova engine bay pics check this thread out over at Steve's. Not all LS, not all 3rd gen, but good none the less.
