Default I guess I should introduce myself.

I'm an long time Corvetteforum member that has been shearching for a site to find useful LS1/6 conversion information. This will be my second fuel injection swap, the first a S & P TPI system on a ZZ-4, back up by a built 700R4 that prematurly died due to laughing gas. Instead of rebuilding I decided to go 180 and start a new project.

I recently purchased a 2001 F-body LS1 and T-56 for $1700 and have started the quest for install parts. As of today, I'm just about ready to drop it in with the exception of clutch and pressure plate.

I'm including a link to my very poorly put together website, but you can get the idea.

Just thought I started off posting without actually letting you guys know what I was working on.

I bought it from a Mustang rebuilder, I guess he didn't like the LS1 stuff. He was north of Dallas.

Budman, any idea if this Mustang rebuilder has any other LS1s he would like to part with?

Not sure, but I can check next time I run out there. I think he just want to get the motor out of his back storage area. FYI - LS1's in Fort Worth with harness in all go for under $1700.
