Our 66 Chevelle Pro-Touring LS swap
Alright, since I did a lot of research on this site I figured I would post some pictures of a swap we just "completed" in our 66 Chevelle. Long story short, we bought the car Memorial Day weekend 2002 in Yuba City, CA and worked on it until it hit the road last Memorial Day weekend. It was a fairly mild 454 and we had a blast with it going to P-T events. Bottom line though, it just was too heavy and didn't make the power we were looking for. So, we bought a low mile 08 Cadillac Escalade L92 last November. Here are some pictures.

Here's the L92 soon after we brought it home. We also bought an LS3 intake for it from the same guy.
Three books and an intake, what could go wrong?...

Just in case someone wants to fill in the blanks on the build, here is my Pro-Touring.com build thread. It's hard to believe how many things have changed since we started.

Or, this one on chevelles.com goes back even further.

It was a 4.56 until September last year when we installed a more usable 3.73.
I've yet to weigh the car. Really wish I had a before and after swap weight.
