I know its been done but thought I would share some progress pics. I have to thank you guys for all of the info on this project. I do alot of searching on this forum for info and it helps a ton. Im changing out the whole engine/trans/subframe and rear axle/leafs. The car currently has a zz4 350 w/ fast burns, hot cam, Msd, 150 shot backed by a manual valve-body th-350 and a 10 bolt rear with eaton posi. Im going to install this gear into a 67 coupe for my wife. Going into my 68 is a Total Cost Involved front subframe, Air-ride shockwaves all around, willwoods, hydraboost, A 2002 LS1/T-56 and a currie 9" with a 4 link rear.

Since the car is done my friends think I am nuts but I have alot of history with this car. I built it in 2000 than sold it...only to re-buy it 2 years later. Its like one of my kids. Anyhow I dont post much but thought I would share.

My 68:

tci sub-frame? looks like it if its not.
What ever frame it is, do they use a M2 geometry?

EJ you probably worked on this car as much as I did after I sold it to Andy. I was lucky to get it back in the same condition as it was when I sold it. Give me a call soon....

i'd like to see more especially when its installed, also keep me posted on wiring mods i'm about convert my 96 camaro from a factory 3.8 into an LS1 using a truck motor for the iron block (its more durable). very impressive what you have though.

Its been a while since I have updated...here are a few more pics of the install. I smoothed the firewall, shot the bottom of the car with raptor liner, welded up all the seams in the car, deleted the door and trunk locks etc. I cut and enlarged the radiator opening to allow more airflow. Its been a bit of a snow-ball effect.

A few more pics of the rear setup

Its an Total Cost involved rear 4-link. I painted the Sub-frame, cross member, rear housing and some misc other parts body color to create some contrast. Color sanding and polishing took more time than installing....but I like the detail and the way it came out.

Last photo is bottom of engine. Hooker longtubes may be replaced with stainless headers....not sure yet.

Hey, what Hookers are those? That last pic looks like they may fit my Mav swap... My rack looks to be in the same relative location as yours. Any chance you could measure the widest point between the outer tubes (overall width)?

Thanks!
