I'm really interested in watching this conversion go, as Im thinking about doing a LS1/t56 out of a 00-02 Fbody into my 92. Your doing a great job and its REAL clean so far. Keep up the good work. i look forward to following your build.

Default New updates
I've been pretty busy with work and my band, but me and my buddy had some time so we put all the front suspension back in there including some v6 springs for the weight difference, the spohn spherical strut mounts, and some new struts. Rebuilt the control arms with new ball joints and bushings (AC Delco). We put the plastic gas tank up in, and wired it up for the 3rd gen harness. The rearend is almost up there but we ran out of time.

Here are some recent pics, Ill take more when I get off work today.

Looking good man. There is a slight chance (very very small) that I might be doing the same thing someday.

I am painting the rest of the car for sure, torch red with the 25th anniversary stripes. Right now I am just trying to get it rolling. Then running, and while I'm waiting to buy headers, and a tune, I will be sanding and primering, then once she is running I will take it down to the spray booth and shoot it

Been drivin mine for a little more than a year now and wanting to knock out paint and body work this winter, depending on the availability of money. Always waiting on money
