Default swapping a 98 ls1 with a 01

I have a 1998 camaro z28 m6, white with a black hardtop. we are in the process of switching engines from our 01 camaro to my 98. we have the engine pulled out of the 98 and are cleaning and polishing parts now and getting ready to pull the 01s engine any day now. i just thought i would post some pics of our progress.

looks like you had an exhaust leak back there.
thoes coil packs look sick!
BTW the swap would be easier if the car was blue with T-tops.

If you're near Chicago and that 125k mile shortblock still runs/is driveable, I'll take it off your hands.
