Vintage air
Speartech computer and wire
Air Ride suspension
Charged the air last week and have only a few bugs to work out. It drives great! This was a pretty big project. I did the motor and transmission installation, air ride, and rear end since October. I did almost all of the work myself. I would be glad to answer any questions if I can help anyone.

Currently building an LS motor for my 68 Camaro RS Convertible. Planning on a carbed LS motor. I will be using an 02 LQ4 block, .030 over. The rest of the motor will be new, bottom and top end (except the crank which is out of an 07 Vette).

1995 Caprice 9c1 I'm in the process of installing a 2004 Corvette LS6 with corvette assessories into my 1995 Caprice 9c1. I'm also installing a 4L65E tranny. I'm still in the trial and fit mode right now.
Wiring harness to be purchased....Speartech
S&P is now on my speed dial as well.
Need to modify the crossmember
Need to figure out the power steering lines.
I bought the external oil cooler for the LQ9 to mate up with my factory external oil cooler. That should help with temperatures @ the track.
Hopefully I'l be done by Halloween!!!!!!!!
