Talking LS1 swap finally starts :)
My car is finally Alive! Started it up tonight and it sounds great. All i need to do is replace the tranny dipstick seal and install my air intake on it. Then off i go to TSP to get a full dyno tune. Thanks to everyone that has helped me along the way!!

Great to hear it. I remember the joy (and amazement too) I felt when mine first came to life.

I hope some of the info I supplied helped.
