Hello, just thought Id drop a line...
I bought the seat mounts, but it was a waste of money. They are basically universal instead of vehicle specific. Im up in Marysville/ Lake stevens area, Glad to see there is somebody close thats doing the same swap. Where are you in your swap?

hey man, awesome swap, very informative, im about to do a swap like this in a 68 chevelle with an ls2/t56 from GTO and i was wondering what pedal assy did you use for the clutch, and what about the shifter? and also driveshaft and getting the tranny all hooked up and functional in the car, jsut wondering i know aout the cutting for the floor but im still wondering abotu pedals and what not. great work
I got my wheels.....
MickT/AWS-6 - I used the stock chevelle clutch pedals for my swap, I tried to use the newer f-body clutch setup out of a 2001, but it looked way to complicated. All I did was adapt the slave cylinder to the chevelle clutch pedal and fab up a stop to keep from bottoming it out. I also am going to use the stock shifter out of the 01 f-body too. I cant drive it yet to see if there are any complaints, but if so, I will post up. Good luck! Let me know if you got anymore questions.

yea man im going to do the swap with my stock pedals and adapt the f-body slave and master set up, u have any pics for the mods u did to mount it and to keep it from bottoming out? and that dash set up, how much did it run you for? i found a dakota digital one i like but not for the price
Glad to hear its running. This was one of the builds that helped me start mine. Love the car and the all the detail you covered. 2 questions:did you use the stock Denso 02's (upstream)?, and where did the ECM get mounted?
Thanks man. Hope to see/hear a video sometime!

So the F-body oil pan fit with no mods other than raising the perches 3/8"?? Thats cool! How tall are the mounts themselves?? What adapter plates are you using between the block & motor mount?? Hooker stock location?? What headers did you use??
Awesome looking car!
Thanks for all the info & pics!
