Dude, that is awesome! An LS1 in a Firebird! You'll humiliate many V6 Mustangs that want to play, and the V8 GTs that try to pick on you thinking you're a V6 will be a priceless win, lol.

All I have to say is damn. Just out of curiousity...how much would you say the total transformation cost including everything? Just curious if it seemed worth it in the end. Thats a lot of work but I bet it was fun.

Turned out great man, but I would suggest going to your insurance company and see how much TA coverage would be. If its not much more, I'd tell them that its been coverted to a trans am, and you would like to have it coverd as one... You wouldn't want to wreck it and only get paid for a old six banger
