Default Iroc-Z Swap

Been keeping UPS busy! I've been buying up parts so I can get this thing on the road! My Hawk headers were delivered toady and the look great.
Here are few pictures of my swap. I plan to keep this post updated as the progress continues. Any help from you guys that have already done this would be helpful.

I'm also curious as to what kind of power and 1/8 mile times it should put down. Here is the specs.

6.0L
ported 241 heads
Comp cams 238/240@50 605/609
Victor Jr. with Barry Grant 750 Mighty Demon
1 3/4 headers with dual 3" Dynomax bullets
9 inch with 4.10
TH350 with 3800 converter

Cool. I love it when UPS shows up. Or FedEx. As long as they have parts, I don't care who it is.

My brother has a crappy Z parked way back out on my lot, and I told him to put an LS in it. Get busy on that thing, rather than posting pictures!

Nice looking Camaro. As I'm in the middle of my own swap, I'm pretty certain that you'll find this link to be helpful.

Looking forward to seeing how your project goes...

very nice!. I am in the middle of the same swap right now. Im doing a 5.3 tho. I have changed my mind on the setup now. Im going with FI instead of carb. My friend has just about everything i need for the FI so im just going that way with it. Your car is identical to mine. Very nice swap and keep the info and pics coming!
