84 camaro lsx swap Well figured I haven't posted any pics yet of my swap. So here's a few of the car and the drivetrain.
ugly yellow side marker and faded front turn signals are both gone now with clear ebay housings that look 100x's better.
drivers side header completed that I hand made out of a ls1 header flange and some hooker 1 3/4" u-bends
here's your basic baby cam only engine with msd 6010 box and a carb on top.
Tranny is a TH350 and have a moser 9" out back. Tires are 28" M/T skinnies up front and 28x12.50 ET streets out back.

I Love IT !! Cool Car ... Awesome Motor.
I was running ... 11.7 with my 84 camaro gen I sbc with 175 shot.
I was running 12.00 @ 114 with a N/A ls1 in a C3 vette with Th350 and 3.36 gear

finally finished both sides today and painted them in VHT header paint.
drivers side installed from behind
both headers installed....only .5" lower than the oil pan, should be perfect for ground clearance.
both headers from behind
passenger side header, now this is what I call tucked perfectly. .25" clearance all around the collector flange.

Finally fired it up the other day, still have lots ahead to finish but thankfully I didn't have any issues with the msd box like others have had. New battery, 0 gauge wire throughout and a new starter probably didn't hurt either

stock heads off the motor and a 224 cam IIRC.
ya sure the hawk headers would work if I wanted to spend close to a grand with shipping for headers that may or may not tuck up as high as the ones I made since I moved the motor back and down slightly. I have under $300 in these headers, so I'm happy with my investment and fitment. If 1 7/8" headers become available then I may sell these off for them.

TH350 long tailshaft with a big stall, I have a TH400 waiting in the garage fresh in case I burn up the TH350.
