Yea.. a couple of Gremlins stole my Engine..
I found a new one though..

That is Factory out of a 1989-1992 Camaro. I checked the V8's that had Disc Brakes in the back, and the V6 ones had the same exact Valve.. just like the 4th Gen V8 and V6 Cars..
Every line there had to be modified except for one of the front ones... I got all the Fittings with it when I pulled it out of the Car.

I'm glad that it's gone.. it was kinking the Radiator Hose cause I had to set the Radiator back for the LS1 Intake. Now I just have to make a custom Fan Bracket to run 1 Fan..and clear the Water Pump on the new Engine

Thanks..
It's not hard to do really.. just takes a little research and time..that and all these F-bodies have interchangeable parts..just have to put a little custom work in.

I am always thinkin of something...If any of you guys have a question with something that is custom, hit me up and I'll try to figure something out..

Basically everytime I start one of these little projects, I have a 2 goals..

1. Can I do it and finish it, and have it work.
2. I know that they make anything out there.. how much will it cost me to do it myself..

Then once I get in the middle of it..I learn alot about what ever I do. After it gets done, I spread the word..

Example: My LSX Conversion Harness for my LT1 Car.
Cost to me: $260, Harness and Computer, 12 hours time invested.
Cost from any company that makes them: Atleast $500, and you have to send most of them a Harness that you got, so there is another $150+..
What I ended up with after: A LSX Harness that will Start and Run a LS Engine in my 1995 Z28, and I know literally every Wire in that Harness..objective complete.
Then ontop of that, I put in Connectors for LS2 Fuel Injectors(cost me $25, K-tech makes adapters for $75), and I put in a Connector for a Corvette Z06 85mm MAF Sensor.
I see all that custom stuff I did equaling about a $1000 Harness...

I tried to make that a Sticky, but it never got done. I figured that some of the Harness Companies probably would bitch about it and loose business..

I'm just a regular guy that likes to think outside the box..if it can be done, I will find a way to do it, and it will get done..

I'll mess with anything to get something better out of it, or get it to go a different way.
If any of you guy have an idea with something.. let me know and I'll give you an opinion..
