Default sn95 ls1 6 speed swap in progress

dont have any pics yet just getting started... pulled a nice running 530+ hp turbo sbf out in favor for a ls1... figured i would lose around 100+ pds and make up for the little power difference with less head ache..... i got a complete drop out 00 ls1 with 6speed.. got the aje k member and dynotech headers... ported fast 92 on the way.. still trying to figure out with cam and heads i am going to install.. i am shooting for 450+ to the wheels and have great street manners and be able to drive it anywhere and everywhere and get more then 13 miles to the gallon... the funny part is i am a top 10 ford racing dealer and i am going to the dark side for some reason???? i will get some pics up soon and hopefully have it going in the next few weeks... any tips or advice on which parts to go with would be great... thanks

What are your plans for the clutch pedal? Something custom?

sorry guys i will have some pics this weekend... got the car stripped and the engine bay painted, waiting on the custom cam to come in and i will have the motor together and put in...

not sure what i am going to do on the clutch pedal yet... i am hoping that the slave cyclinder i have will work off one of the stock points for the quad of the pedal... then i seen the nightmare thread of the dynatech headers not fitting like they should.....

but i did get a few more parts
3 inch x pipe
arp head bolts
arp crank bolt, cam bolts, etc
head gaskets
got the ls1 tore down and it ended up having some cam in it already

Car looks sick!! I've got a white sn-95 as well.

Dynatech is in the process of fixing the headers.
But I believe its only a problem for the fox body cars. They designed the headers on SN-95 so you should be fine.
