My 72 Chevelle w/LS1,4L60(56K Warning!) I wish I would have made a build thread to document the conversion, but didnt. I did get TONS of info from threads posted on here and could not have done it without a lot of you guys that have done it. If ya have any questions feel free to ask. Anyway, here are some pics of the car before and after:

LS1 Installed:

Damn... that car is sweet!!!! Great job! Paint looks nice. Good execution! I always liked those early 70s Chevelles. I dont think ide turn one down if I found one and was in the market.
Have you driven it yet? How's she feel? Got anything done to the motor besides the obviously bolt on stuff?

very nice. if my chevelle wasnt #'s matching, i would prolly consider doing an ls1 swap as well.
i just put those 71-72 ss wheels on my car so otherwise I would have totally been asking about the status on those...they are hard to find.
