Default LS1TECH project 69SS LS1 is here!

I posted the road trip story in the Lounge forum, but figured that not many of you check that section.

I'm working with some potential project sponsors on this one, and will give out details as the time comes.

Preliminary plans:

Houndstooth covered 4th gen Camaro seats (power)
LS1 swap
T56 6-speed swap
Magnusson Supercharger (polished)
Hotchkiss suspension upgrades
Baer slotted/drilled brakes
17 or 18" wheels, tires
A/C
stereo system

Here is the story and photos

The car looks awesome! Go with 17" wheels....the 18's will have too low of a profile tire on them and look funny (IMHO!).

When do you start the swap?

I've had several 69's over the years. It looks like you have found a great one to start with. That will be a great package when finished!

The ultimate engine with one of the ultimate classics! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Can't wait to see it finished.
