Default 94 Camaro 5.3 4l80e

this car started as a simple 94 Camaro V6, then received a 6.5L turbo diesel back in 2008, some here will remember that thread. I had so many issues with that engine I decided it would be better to just have reliable transportation. So I decide to part out the Diesel parts and put it back on the road. Naturally I chose the LS engine. The build started on January 4, 2011 and completed just the other day. All fab, wiring, everything built by me!


2005 L33 aluminum 5.3L (90k mi)
-truck accesories, oil pan, coil packs
-standalone harness, custom tune by me, Hptuners
-LS1 intake conversion, 32lb injectors(EV1)
-Spohn solid motor mounts
-walbro 255 inline
-corvette FPR/filter
-LS1 K-member
-Cast manifolds, offroad y-pipe,Gibson Cat-back exhaust

1994 4l80e
-TCI trans controller, custom tune by me
-Yank Crossmember
-existing Diesel TC
-6.0L GM 4l80e flexplate/spacer

Other mods: LS1 brakes, !ABS,!HVAC, C5 magnesium wheels, Harwood hood, full custom gauge set, 4point roll bar, radiator relocation, Griffin radiator, LS1 efans, Whole car rewire, fuel cell, battery relocation, UMI full rear suspension, stock 3.42 10-bolt, lots of weight reduction. prob missing a few things.

here it is after the first drive. working out some bugs in the tune. Otherwise she runs great!

Any hood clearance issues with the truck accessories? I'm wanting to do the same thing with my '94 and am not finding good info on how well it fits.

yes, the truck alternator sits above the hoodline. thankfully I had the Harwood 2.5" cowl from the last build to use. stock hood won't clear.
