Lt4 mounted in 69 camaro

Thanks! I can't wait to hear it run! Still waiting on my headers and a bunch small stuff to do yet. But I'm getting closer! Still trying to visualize how the intake is going to look. I bought a spectre driver side corner piece for the 69 camaro. Does anyone know the angle that the throttle body comes out at?

From he pics I've seen for reg. wetsump LT1s, the pan is huge. Kind of like GEN V Camaro pan. Hopefully you can give us some good news once you start wrenching.

Getting really close. I have been waiting on my headers for 3 months but they finally arrived. Have a few more small details to finish up and am hoping to make our local car show next Sunday.

WOW. You're actually moving pretty fast considering how new this platform is. What did you do for the dry sump? Pics, pics, pics please. LOL

Thanks guys. Finished up pretty much everything but the plumbing last night. A few things to tidy up and I plan on firing on Saturday... If plumbing goes as planned.
Had to make my own engine oil cooler block off plate this weekend, so that ate up much of my day. Apparently the block off plate for the lt1 is different and I can't find and aftermarket one anywhere.
Also, the cpp dry sump adapter will not work. Ordered it and put it on... The steering arm hits when turning right. Ict billet makes a nice one that routs it up instead of out. Looks like it's going to work.
Have all my hoses and fittings on the way and hope to post a video on Saturday!

braking that beast in will be bitter sweet. The dry sump prices are reasonable. What hose did you end up ordering?
#35
Any pics of the headers prior to installing?

Speaking of breaking in, does anyone have any advice on do and don't on the break in procedure?
Probably just follow the instructions but doesn't hurt to hear some advice
Thanks

By the way, AWESOME swap and DO NOT under estimate the cooling needs of this GEN V FI motor, good luck!
