Hey all I have a 2000 Firebird. It had a turbo on it but I have always wanted a v8(more room to grow). Just bought a 02 ls1 today and hope to get that in soon. Can't wait to finally have a ls1

Motor swap should take about 3 days.

Still waiting for it to be delivered from the salvage yard. Everytime I call they said it's on the way have your cherry picker ready. Well it's still not here

Well they finally delivered the engine and tranny with no computer. All the rest of the parts that I paid for for the swap aren't here either. He said the price I paid was for the engine and tranny only. That is totally different from every conversation I have had with him on the phone. Last time I talked to him he said everything was pulled off the car and he was going to ship it out. This is such a big mess. I just want what I paid for...

Well I'm still waiting on a few parts from the salvage yard. The shop that the car is at has a totalled ls1 so they are going to take the last few parts off of that. Started on it last night so it should be done tomorrow night! Can't wait to get it. I have been waiting forever!
