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?

 

i did a simular seat in my gto. i took two long pieces of angle iron and made brackets. recaro and stuff have bolt in brackets but the tracks are wider than my summit seat is.

 

im doing a swap in my 1970 gto and i cant find a place to mount my pcm anywhere the harness in ment to put the pcm in the car but dont want to drill a hole in the fire wall and it still has the oem a/c box in the way and the harness is made to go to the passanger side of the car if anyone can help that would be awesome

 

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.

 

SHE RUNS!!!!!

 

Nice build, those wheels are sweet! BTW it looks like the hulk punched the escalade

 

Congrats on runnin. What size wheels are those?

 

Wheels are 18X9 on the front with 5.5'' BS, and 18x10 with 5.75'' BS

 

Nice car!!

 

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!

 

Awesome project! LSx '71 chevelle is on my bucket list, I love to see these swap threads. Is that original paint? Looks mint in the pics.

 

Nice build! any pics of the trans tunnel or pedals?

 

i have pics of trans tunnel and pedal pics in my build

 

like the color! have a question on the firewall. when you cut off the seam at the top did you cut it even or leave a little to "pean" over. Also did you use the truck comp? thanks

 

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!
