The car turned out real nice Tim. We will get the ac line fixed up this week. I am ready to see what kind of power it will make on the dyno.

It looks like the LS1 gives you more room, is it easier to work on? I do like the LT1 but hate the Opti and the tight working area. I wonder if an LS2 or 3 would be just as easy. I also wonder what my good running virgin LT1 is worth... The best of both worlds, the LT1 body paired with an LSx. If i only had the time. You doing the brakes?

And I was just about to order the LT1 LPP headers when they are ready. Think I will hold off.
Or I'll just trade you my 1999 Z28.

Hey man, nice swap. Im doing a carbed 6.0 LQ4 swap into my 96 Trans Am WS6. My question is im installing a t56, but was wondering what did you have to change or modify to make the LS1 T56 work? Thanks,
Tony
