That car is f'n gorgeous! We're doing a 68 Bird right now. Bodies about half done, starting basic with a 4.8 4L60 just for a fun cruiser for a few years. LS6 cam, headers etc. Basic fun DD type car. Going for a 70's hotrod look with 15" wheels and fatties with some rake to it.

I'm wanting to swap an LS engine into a 70-73 firebird. Those of you who have experience in doing this, how much do you think I would spend by getting a LS3 and Auto trans (from lets say a wrecked 2010 camaro) and having a finished product in the second gen? I do all the work myself. I believe hooker headers makes swap crossmembers and headers for the swap. But I have no clue how much any of this could add up to. Have any of you all tackled something like this and if so how much did you spend start to finish?
