Sharp car even though I'm not a fan of the Trans Am-style ram air hood (no matter what it's on)
So was the engine conversion hard?

Argh....First post, and first bad comment about the hood. =/ If it makes any difference, I'm lookin' for an SS hood....Just don't have the cash at the moment. And the engine swap wasn't too bad. The car was ordered with LSD and 3.42's, so that didn't need to be changed. We changed the k-member, Y-pipe, lid, had to change to a mechanical gas pedal because the V6 was ETC, and surprisingly, the 2000 V6 dash harness mated up well to the 99 LS1 engine harness.

Ok I'm going to say it....hood looks gross as does the body kit. If you had posted a link to you car outside this site and said it was somebody elses I think more people would be inclined to say what they really think. But somebody had to say it...
With that said, congrats on the engine swap! Does that really make it a "Z28"?? or the same thing as if a Z28 gets a SS spoiler and Hood and changes it's badges?
just giving you a hard time

congrats on the swap, sounds like it wasnt too bad. i would agree with the hood statements, go with a SS like you said, and it will look much better. overall nice car though, just some finishing touches and tweaks and you'll be set.
what did you do to the front clip ground effects? it looks nice and smooth
