Swap almost done!! I just thought I would share my swap with you guys. It is almost ready to go be tuned, I cannot wait. It is a 1963 nova with a 6.0l l92 combo backed with a 4L60E. If anyone wants more specs please let me know. I am just starting to get excited. I dont post too much but I always search and find the answers to my questions here on tech.
Enjoy!!!
Enjoy!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys. Its so close I can just about see the light at the end of the tunnel. The hardest part is finding the time to work on it. Im sure I will see some of you guys around once it is all ready.

Thanks for all of the great comments guys. I Really appreciate it. As everyone knows its a long road from start to finish. I just cant wait to get out and tear up the new 275's!!!! All I really have left is the brake lines, some minor wiring, and put the seats in. Should be ready for a tune in a week or so. That should leave me with a few weeks of good weather in chicago. Im sure over the winter I will fine tune everything and probably change a bunch of things like I always do. I am for sure putting a fogger on it, hope to make 700rwhp on the nitrous.

Loweredd-
I was replying as you posted. The install was VERY easy. I have not driven it yet to adjust it though. I have heard alot of good things and a lot of bad things as well. Mostly the adjustment process. Some people get it quickly and others dont. I am using stainless -3 lines and 37 degree fittings throughout my brake system. So far I am finding out that I have a knack for bending tubes, I was intimidated but its coming very easy to me. If you have more questions or want specific picts let me know.

The only real reason is because I think it looks different that the FAST or LS6 or L92 composite intakes. Is there a performance benefit? I have no idea. I think it looks cooler and cost less than a fast intake. I will definitely be putting a fogger kit on the car and will weld in some aluminum bungs into each runner.
Thanks for the kind words.
