It just occurred to me that I never posted up the link to my LS3/L92 6.2 swap. I took apart the car in February, it was running by late May of this year.

Here is a general picture dump of my activities since then
Maiden voyage after the swap for some random parts
After a proper wash and cleaning, I started to put some miles on it and cruise
One of my favorite recent shots on my favorite local driving road
Feeling patriotic during the week of 4th of July
Out at the local ice cream joint
Playing with the N2MB No Lift Shift feature, which occasionally shoots fireballs (although not on command). Apparently the pressure was too much for stock junky mufflers.
Which prompted me to whip up some straight pipes

First year storing the car for the winter. Every winter since I've bought the car has been spent disassembling, upgrading, cleaning, etc. This year I just cleaned up the interior, put some dryer sheets and moisture absorbents inside, removed the battery, added Sta-Bil, and stuck it on jackstands. See you in 6 months!
You guys didn't think I could leave anything alone for that long, did you? I naturally picked up another project to pass the time with.

Been a long time since I updated.
While doing some no-lift shifts, the resulting backfire blew out one of the baffles in the base mufflers on the car and it was rattling around (not the first time this has happened!).
So, the solution was to remove all restrictions. Chopped off the stock mufflers, welded up extensions and tips, shot it with high temp black. Party time!

Out for a couple last rips this season. Trying to avoid putting it away in storage as long as possible

Finished up installing all new LED lights in the garage. The output is incredible, and no more annoying fluorescent flickering/constant bulb changes.

I pulled the trigger on an inexpensive ITB system knowing it would need fabrication and "fixing", but since I have to change a lot of things to make it work with my setup, that's not really a problem.
Here is what I'm thinking of doing in terms of actuation - using the OEM TB as a servo to control the ITBs. (Not my video)
So far the machining on the manifold castings is crappy as expected and they need work. More details to come.

Interested in if you're able to get those to work. May be easier to go with a Holley Terminator system and switch to DBC

The car is for sale!
With a heavy heart, I've decided to sell her. With a baby on the way, I won't be able to enjoy the car the way it deserves to be driven.
