Actually I wrote that wrong.. I hit the 3 instead of the 4. It WILL work on the 3-channel, not on the 4 channel.

Sorry for the confusion..

It needs a re-tune and I think the Valve Guides are shot, so it burns a **** ton of oil.

Ya Merv i dont get why you had to delete ABS? I live in Oregon and its really important to have ABS. Did you get rid of it cause you didnt need it or cause it was in the way?

Thanks

This seems like a great build. I have a 96 RS Camaro sitting in the driveway that hasn't been driven in a bout two years, and a LM7 engine on an engine stand. I've been considering giving this swap a try. I'm still stuck trying to figure between dropping the engine in the 96, or the '78 Z28.

To avoid confusion..this was the old 402..the Rings were shot.

The new 408 is a tad better..just a tad..

Ya i am still on the fence whether to get rid of it or not.. But i have never driven a car without out ABS so i wouldnt know what to expect and would learn over time..

Oh and another question for the LT1--->LS1 swap guys, what intake did you go with? The original LT1 style or ram air? I have a stock ram air lid and mounting piece, but its not boltin on to the 95 camaro. Any ideas? Thanks

just dont put your foot to the floor everytime you stop I dont know if it was crappy brakes or a combination of crappy brakes and my heavy *** rims but with my stock brakes and aftermarket rims I could not get them to lock up unless it was snowy out. if it was wet I could go from like 50-0 with out any lock up no matter how hard I hit um
now with my big brakes different story
