Default Ls1 Newbie

Hey guys, ive been poking around here for a few months now and as I am planning for a ls1/t56 swap next winter and I figured that I may as well start gathering info and for that matter parts for when I get to doing it, as ive got a real good case of mono thats got me stuck in bed all day I figured this is a good time to start gathering information.

If you guys wana check out my camaro goto the link on my signature, I have done all the work myself, including replacing the subframe, rebuilding the suspension, hotchkis tvs, building and installing a new sbc. I am about to start on the interior, fatmat, new windsheild, headliner, reworking the electrical, hopefully a stereo, and lots of little details.

Very nice car! What do you plan to do with the 350 that's in there? If you plan to sell, i'd sure like to put it in my 70 1/2 RS. I need a motor for that still.
Otherwise, I'm sure you'll find a lot of help here on your planned swap. Welcome!

I have no clue whats gona happen to that engine haha It would be depressing as hell to think about it as I probably have 100 miles on it, and have spent what for me is a lot of time and money, but if I were to sell it, it would be next winter as in a few weeks this thing will be my daily driver.
