I used the f-body pan,the converter was the easiest part of the hole project.I picked up the phone,called The Converter Shop (TCS)928-453-4020 asked for Rusty, told him my motor,trans and what stall i wanted.$450 dollars and three days later I had a badass converter on my front step.

Thanks for the info guys. I thought I'd add if someone was going to use a stock converter. I have been serching, and I think MABY you can use the 4l60e converter in the 700r4 and not use an adaptor. I am not 100% on that one though.

Good job on the swap.

What size DR you got back there? I'm waiting on my 10-Bolt to blow too, but it seems to be doing good so far. Its been sprayed on a few times too.

They are 275/50r15. Ive done a couple launches on the street and I think it will be ok but at the track and a 150 shot is where the problem will be.

I'll be running the same tire next year with a 150 shot also. I have used some 275/40/17's at the track and they worked great, but that was on motor. We'll see how it goes this year.

Are you guys running a heater? If so what did you do for the connection at the fire wall, with my setup the heater core inlet/outlet are right behind the head and valve cover . The only thing I can come up with is getting some 90* pre bent rubber hose like a rad hose but the correct size.I think reg straight hose will kink in that tight of a radius.

You are in luck....I just bought some heater hoses today with pre-formed 90's on the end...I'll get you the part numbers from the hoses tomorrow.

Okay...I got these at Carquest and they are made by Gates
28470......5/8 heater hose....$12.97
28480......3/4 heater hose....$19.48

The 5/8 hose is about a foot short so you will need to splice it...the 3/4 hose is plenty long enough. These hoses have a 90 degree bend molded into them at one end.

ls1-iroc thanks for the part # but i found out a 28471 is a foot or so longer than the 28470 so you dont need to splice. thanks again for the #

such a nice nice swap...Im currently doing the same thing

lq4...Carbed/cammed....th350..

I wish youd post more pics, especailly of the bracket set up. I have to swap out the truck brackets for the camaro ones....and i need some good pics to work with...

How was the carb conversion....meaning the wiring n such....

The fuel system seems to be easy to set up, but what did you go with?

MORE PICS MORE PICS MORE VIDS MORE VIDS

Pretty good numbers there. 10.99 should be no problem for ya.

Mine just ran a 7.39@94 today. Bone stock LS1 with a 150 shot. I gotta figure out why the N2O keeps cutting in and out in 1st gear and it might go a little faster. 232/232 cam going in soon also.

Good luck.
