Got the car on jack stands, removed and sold the Koni Yellow shocks/struts. Will be replacing them with some type of adjustable coil overs up front.

While the car is down, I'm deleting the ABS block and hiding the fuse boxes. Still trying to decide if I want to run a light battery or not.

That is definitely super light compared to my 31 lbs red top. My only concern would be my electric water pump, my compression is only 11.1-1.

Original LS1 starter.

LS3 starter.

Size difference, notice that the LS3 starter uses (2) long bolts like the later model Fbodies.

i had a starter like that. I have problems keeping bolts in it in the adjustable mounting block. If the bolts weren’t backing out, they were breaking. I tried red loctite too. Didnt matter. I prefer factory.

T-fitting for the abs delete.




Lowered the Computer to make it less noticeable.

Removed the hood and put it up forsale.
