Re: Who has a hybrid LS1? I have had a '98 Camaro LS1 / T56 in my '81 Malibu for the last year and a half. You can see it on my Project Cars page on my site www.hpsalvage.com

Re: Who has a hybrid LS1? I'm working on putting an LS1 into a 67 Chevy II. My project is a bit more involved than just the engine swap (tube chassis, reworked firewall, custom floors, custom headers, 9 inch, etc.). I'm slowly making progress ... I just finished the driveline portion of the floor sheetmetal today. Some pics current through mid fall are at

Re: Who has a hybrid LS1? Welcome aboard parsonsj (John)! I really like your 3" exhaust w/X-pipe. How did you decide on how much to cut into each pipe to make the "X" on each pipe?
Also, I wanted to see the completed headers pic's! I only say one side before. Where are they hiding? I didn't see them on the link above when I checked it out.
Nice progress! When will it be running?

Re: Who has a hybrid LS1? I thought I read about someone swaping a LS1 into a 3rd gen RX7. Lord knows how he fit it in there, but I'd like to see it if someone knows anything about it. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Hi John! I see the Monte is getting the good press it deserves!
I have lots of pictures of the passenger side header (it turned out better than the driver side), but I've never done a writeup. I don't really have any place to post pics other than the pro-touring website. I'll include some passenger header pics along with some updates on the floors. I'll post here when I get that done (a few weeks).
I've added a body rotisserie, sheet metal brake, metal shrinker and stretcher, and a bead rolling and flanging machine to my shop in recent months. Lots of activity ... just not as much progress as I'd like. I'm probably still a good 18 months away from the car seeing the street. Even that may be optimistic ...
I read with interest nearly article here (just discovered it this weekend). I love the hybrid forum addition to LS1Tech. I'll be spending more time here now!

I cut a slice out of each 90 degree bend so that the area of the slice was the same as the area of the cross section of the tube. Interestly enough, when I did that, I found that made the X pipe a true X: There is now a straight flow from the left side to right (and vice versa). I was trying to show that with the 'framing square' picture. I remember cutting about 1/2 inch from the crown of the bend ...

Re: Who has a hybrid LS1? [quote]John P, Is that the correct formula for an "X"? To equal the cross-sectional area of the pipe? <hr></blockquote>
I'm no expert. I looked at every picture I could find on X-pipes and went with my design from there. My rationale is that a 3 inch exhaust is plenty for my intended power range (350-400 rwhp) and so I didn't think that I could do too much damage by cutting too little or too much from the 3 inch elbows.
I did plan ahead: I left plenty of room in the floor for me to try out different X pipe configurations if I'm so inclined in the future.

Re: Who has a hybrid LS1? LS1RX7, glad the web site helped! I bought the elbow from from a local company called Williams Oil Filter Service. Their Web Page is http://www.wofsco.com/

Re: Who has a hybrid LS1? John,
Its a 4L60E, When I figure out how to post some pictures. I have some with the engine installed.
Your web site on your monte was great!
I've learned how to solve some of my problems
from your site.
I do have a question, from your price list,
a part no. is listed for a 90 degree elbow
but from where do you purchased it?
It looks like a part I could use.

Re: Who has a hybrid LS1? These swaps don't come cheap. I've posted what it cost me to do mine at http://home.earthlink.net/~bzdel/PhaseISwapCost.htm and these cost don't include an $$$ for my labor so if you have someone else do any of the work, plan on spending more! Good luck!

Re: Who has a hybrid LS1? JOHN,
Your getting there. I thought I would add my $.02 to the list. I am well under way building a 70 RS Camaro Fitted with a LS1 / T56 / 9" and many other mods too numerious to mention. Final assembly is under way, a few months in the body shop slowed me down. Details are available at look under Halfast.

Re: Who has a hybrid LS1? Hey Tom,
Looks like you're getting there too! I'm guessing you'll be driving yours this summer. Motor mounts look good: simple and effective ... no tripping the knock sensor for you. How'd you do the crossmember? I didn't see any pics of that ... Did you modify the stock one?
