Default T minus 3, 2, 1...We have ignition. Another LS14 nearing completion.

Finally started the car. Video quality is crappy, but it's small. The audio is what counts anyways. Open headers and it fired up on the first try (amazingly enough) once I got the starter to turn. Updated pic below...

*Only things left going in that bay are the radiator, overflow tank, and intake pipe.

Hey man, its TL1000Sga from NICO. Looking real good. Glad to see it coming together so nicely.

Hey man. I am just now in the starting process on my LS1 S13 swap. I just got the engine/tranny and all that last week and I am beginning to order stuff for the car. That reminds me, thanks for the power steering tips and part numbers on Ted's thread. That way really seems like the best way to get it done. Can't wait to see more pics and details on how you did your swap.

Looks great and like others said, clean install! Judging by the fuel rails, you must be going with FI at some point. That thing outta be a beast!

Note about the power steering. The fitting going into the rack is too short to seal w/ the o-ring, so you will have to use teflon sealant/tape or thread locker to make it seal.

Car is on the road...just need to button up a couple of things, but it drives and is a ton of fun.

looks like it has a ton of room for a turbo!

u could go to import events and have an intercooler in the grill and say it has a turbod stock motor in it, then race them
