Default 63 Corvette LS1 -- just starting

I have a custom 1963 that I'm just starting to do some work on. My frame is kind of rusty, so I recently purchased a new Jamisons frame from someone who's changing direction with their project (meaning I got a pretty good deal). I also bought a 98 corvette LS1 motor with 46k and a few mods. I'm in the process of buying C4 Corvette suspension parts and other items. I need to get coil-over shocks, a Tremec TKO 600 transmission, electric fuel pump, new radiator and electric fans, etc.

I'm sure it will be a long project. If anyone has some pointers for me, I'm sure I can use them! Thanks.

Default 69 Camaro Convertible LS1 - T56 Swap Info

After 1 year of many long nights, I'm driving the old rag top with the new drive train. It goes like a scared rabbit and has the looks to match (IMO) Won the GM first choice award in the first show and shine, straight out of the exhaust shop to the show.
I couldn't be more proud of my first frame off restoration / conversion and had a blast doing it.
Lots of pics and helpful stuff at www.lees69camaro.com where I had as much fun documenting the swap as the swap itself.

Ok, here's my latest project, probably my dumbest idea to date, but hey, I figured it would be different, fairly inexpensive, and relatively easy. So, what I've got is a 5.3 I've had lying around for a while, so I thought I would put it in my wagon! It's a 1984 LTD Crown Vic, yeah the BIG one! Anyway, this is gonna be real funny when it's done, I hope to have it done by the Power Tour 2008, so look for me there, I'll probably be the only one there with this kind of car! If I make it, and your on the Power Tour, you WON"T forget this car!!! And yeah, I'm totally, completely, 100%, Out of my mind!!

Cant wait to see it done Eric. Do you plan to take it to the weekend Belton Cruises? I should have my LS1 Caprice there. I am actually planning on being in the World Of Wheels this weekend with it as well, maybe I will see you sweet rod or Nova up there ?

Default LS6 into a Porsche 914

I was the first to put a LS series motor into a Porsche 914 (1998). The current engine is a modified LS6 putting out 520HP normally aspirated. The car is light (2500lbs) and goes like a demon! It also wins alot of autocross and roadcourse events. I'm ready to build an RCR Superlight Coupe with a 1200HP twin turbo LS7. I'm pretty sure that would scare the daylights out of me.
