Default Progress pics..

What's up guys..here is some pics of what I have been working on. I haven't got the interior work done in it yet, but here is the Engine and other things..









Look how easy them Plugs are to get to now..




T56 installed..I had to modify the Crossmember cause of how the Engine is mounted in the Car..





Here is some of the Interior..

Wait, that doesn't look like a LT1...JK, I knew you had it swapped.
Did you do a T56 conversion?
It appears that you removed the heater core (big ugly box in the engine bay), so why do you have heater hoses going to the firewall?

Yea I did a T56 Conversion. I took the AC out, the Heat is still there. The Heater Core is actually on the inside of the Car.

I've done the conversion a couple of times, surprisingly simple. You did a clean job.

It just seems wrong to say LS when it's a L92 head/402 LQ4 motor...it's a beast!
