Default Another 69 Camaro LS swap (LS3 Pace car rag)

Almost finished and thought I would share some pics. This site has been a ton help with this swap. Original pace car, had a ZZ4 crate motor and a 700R4 trans. I have installed an LS3 out of a 2010 Camaro, and a 4L60. I used Dynatech headers and the GM hot rod harness. Can't wait to get it on the road!!

Thanks for the comments guys!! I just have to finish wiring up the trans controller and get the driveshaft back and installed. It should be a really nice ride when done. I have also installed Wilwood brakes front and rear, and ridetech coilover suspension. Hopefully be driving it mid week, although the weather is getting a litlle dicey up here.

(Re: The weather)... I've been out every night, after work, with the windows down. It's about 34 degs out there/just can't bring myself to quit. Although, the roads are being salted with sodium & magnesium, there's a stretch of highway, nearby, that hasn't been contaminated, yet!
As you said, it'll be time to call it a year, soon.

Default Update

So the The car is done!! It has been running and driving now for a couple weeks and it's awesome!! The weather is definitely not co-operating but I have been able to take it out a couple times and can't believe how well it drives and handles, looking forward to some road trips in the summer. I also had the seats upgraded, and a hidden stereo. It will be dyno tuned next week, so I'll post up the numbers then. Here are some pics, waiting on a few little billet pieces to come, but this is where it's at now.

They have some nice stuff. Looks like they'll be getting some of my hard earned money as well.
