Arrow 1987 Camaro Z28 LS1 Swap Intro!
I bought a 1987 Camaro Z28 with a carb 350 A4. I have plans on putting a stock longblock LS1 in with a 4L60E. Also have plans on new paint also. Should be a high 12's DD!

I plan as I start to build on this I will post updates for you guys.

Here Some Pics:

Yeah I was thinking M6 also, But I want to take it to the track more next year and have better 60fts.

I'm still thinking of a TH350 behind the LS1.

cool project. if its not your dd. go with the th350 and a stall.
it will make a world of dif. compared to a 60e. car will be quicker with stock engine and even quicker with typical mods.
