Hey guys i'm starting my second ls swap project. This is my 73 chevy caprice weekend cruiser that's getting the ls6 engine and 350 trans. I'll post pics as I go.here's a few

.

 

Nice way to update an old cruiser. Thought about using a 700r4 or a 4L60? That way you can use a gear to get the boat moving and still get some semblance of gas mileage......just a thought.


Good luck with your swap and document it.

Chuck

 

Your chevelle looks good.... Can you post pics of the caprice?

Thanks

 

I plan on going with the 700r4 a little later cause i put a new 350 trans in it last summer. Thanks

 

Thank you. Here are a few pics,i started yesterday pulling the engine out and today we installed the ls6. This car has lots of room under the hood and looks like its gonna be a very easy swap.We moved the mounts back 1'' and it worked out perfect,didn't move the trans nor drive shaft.

 

A few more.

 

Is that a fiberglass dash pad? Looks like you already got alot of work in that car already.

 

Man! That car is gorgeous.

Man you have 2 nice cars... Do you have any side shots?

Thanks for posting...

 

Yes i fiberglassed the dash pad and had it painted.I did the upholstery,installed a dakota dash and put a new top on it the year before last.

 

Yes, here's a few. Thanks

 

lmao this thing is too ****** cool

 

I always have loved the white interiors, they are super clean. I'd be deathly afraid to actually sit in it though for fear of getting it dirty

 

Hey do anybody have any fbody or vette front brackets for sale?

 

Thanks for sharing the pics... Your cars are gorgeous .. Good color combos and tasteful mods... I'm looking for the same to cars now chevelle or caprice/impala... Motivation, motivation...

 

Thanks!!!

 

Looks good. That caprice is a boat and a half.

 

Hey I know this is a old post but I'm doing a swap on my 73. My options are the 350/400 and maybe the l60 transmission. My question is how did your 73 hold up with the 350 and what mods did you have to take on to make the engine work in the car... thanks
