i dont see why you would need different hard lines, probably longer flex lines which you can make yourself with the right fittings. pro touring fbody has some nic wilwood kits for a decent price, including the modified spindles

I've looked into them as well, but not sure yet. Wilwood's kit seems nice and all, but kore3 stuff is pretty good, too. Availability of the c5/c6 parts is what draws me towards kore3, but we shall see when its time for that.

From what ive read they are good stuff. They range from 700 and up to 1400 for the massive c6z set up.

Seem to be getting it done!!

Yeah, but I'm still waiting on my sub-frame to be done. Haven't done much of anything else since I've been sick all week.

Well, I finally got my sub-frame back home ready to go and it looks booty good. Hopefully I can start putting it back together tomorrow, buy the frame mounts, sit the motor and tranny on it and sell the ls1 k member so I can clear it out of my way. I also picked up a good set of front and rear set of calipers and rotors from a c5 vette with about 12k miles on them. I need to order the c5 conversion kit from kore3 and the hard lines for the brakes. Let the fun begin.

Ok my sub-frame is back home with me and it looks good, could have been much better, but I'm touching it up anyways. Got the Energy Suspension body bushings on them just so that they are there ready to go. Got the upper control arms on there and was about to do the lowers, but I came across a little issue. The bolts and nuts for the lowers are two different types and could not figure out which bolts to put where. Two of them are smaller and have a nut with a washer attached to it, the other two are just a bolt and a nut. I took some pictures of this and the sub-frame.

Just got off the phone and ordered the c5/c6 brake kit from Kore3 for the fronts, should be here by the weekend, can't wait. And damn its getting dark earlier now, that sucks, I just got home ordered the kit and its dark outside already. Not good for progress.

Thanks. Slowly but surely its getting done. I'm thinking about taking a week off of work(paid) at the end of this month or the beginning of December to make some real progress on this thing.

That build should be sick. I would love to have an LS3 in one of my cars, but an LS1 does just fine, for now.

Got me a light from walmart that go on like a miners light(on your head, or hat). no hands needed!! Keep up the work, my car should be back this week, and i can start the install!!

Haha, thats a good idea! So whats going on with your car? Paint?

LS1 TJ

I'm putting a LS1 into my 73 Camaro. I looked at the Car Shop web site and couldn't figure which engine adapter plates will work for me. I'm going to run the Dynatech headers. I'm thinking I need the 1 inch set back plates.

Do have the Car shop part #?

Thanks.

Here you go. this is what I ordered. From the many times and builds I've read, the setback plates allow you to you use stock fbody oil pan without modifications and puts the motor in the stock location of a sbc.

LS1 TJ

Thanks,

Don't see a part number but at long as it's the 1 inch set back life is good.

Thanks

No paint as of yet, had all rust removed! Front windsheild replaced, rear glass replaced, floors replaced, lower quarter replaced. Just got the car home, so I can start work as soon as i get a BMW put together for side cash, and just got my wife a 87 Mustang GT, been working on it until my T/A return. Will start on it next week, time to get old girl going!!! Good luck!

Sounds good. I got lucky with this car since it aint much rust on it, just a small hole or two on the passenger side floorpan and some on the door sills.

LS1 TJ

Thanks for the link for Car shop mounts.
