I have one... I run low 12s with just a 224 comp cam...

01 LS1 in a C3 with a Carb... the motor need to move forward 1 inch... and well as tranny mount. Steering linkage needs to be modded slightly... need F-body pan and accessories. I used c5 manifolds... until I just recently order SPEEDHOUND c3 swap headers...

I used my Th350 with Hughes Flywheel and spacer... about 125 total.

P.S. I had to cut my front springs because my car sat up about 2 inches in the front !!! LOL lost about 150lbs. with motor swap
