This is my 1997 Z28. I decided to pull the LT1 out and start a turbo 370 build. To start off, here are some pics of the car before I started.....

My first purchase for the build was this iron block LQ4 out of a 2005 GMC. I found it for sale on Craigslist and it came with 317 heads and truck manifolds (after taking the heat shields off, I realized that they were cracked and couldn't use them).

The guy I bought it from took one of the heads off and cleaned it up before selling.

I'm not running AC, so I did the HVAC box delete while still keeping the heat in the car.

There are a couple good threads on here showing how to do this, but if anyone needs some help I can post step by step pics of how I did it.
