Default noob with 71 camaro lsx/6sp project

New here, kinda. I have been a member since march for i could search for info. This site is great 4 tech info!!

Anyway, on to the good stuff. I have a 71 camaro that is (i hope) going to get a lsx/6sp transplant. Don't know what ls motor yet. All i know is i want to run a centrifugal style supercharger. I am in the very early stages of planning and have some time to debate it out. I still have to handle the body issues first. If anyone is familiar with Dale Jr's DSE built 2nd gen you got a good idea of what my goals are going to be.

Thanks
Shaun

hows about an LS2/402 h/c with your centrifugal s/c...textralia clutch, QA1 shocks, Micronited T56 from T56 rebuilds, Pro 5.0 shifter, steel driveshaft, 9" 4:10 gears 35 spline axles w/ true trac diff, 17x9.5 and 17x11 trans am speedline wheels, 2 1'2" cowl induction hood, autometer guages, 01-02 SS seats, new poly eurethayne bushings, and hotchkis sway bars and goodies...Paint Dark marina blue with white SS stripes or hockey sticks..

good luck with the build and PICS!!!!!!
also am insanely jealous of you right now...but that is the combo i would /will build if i can ever score a 70-73 camaro...

and look in the hybrid thread..lots of good stuff there!!!

also forgot the C5 brake kit or if you cant use that then go with teh power slot zinc plated rotors and hawks pads all around, braided brake lines, royal purple synthetic motor oil, synchromesh in the tranny, and limited slip additive to the rear end,
also.. SFC, LCA, TQ Arm, Adj. Panhard rod, Drive Shaft loop, strutt tower brace, all of which can be sourced from many different sponsors...K&N filter(s) Pace Setters LT * stainless or ceramic coated* 3" exhaust with borlamouth.

i am sure that there is more i could think of but that is it just off the top of my head....

GOD I WANT THIS SWAP!!!!
