Finally fixed my LT1. With pics!
My 97 WS6 has been sitting collecting dust for a year now. I just got her all back together last week. Dressed in drag for these pics.

looks good. just a suggestion, but go down to autozone and pick up some 3m double sided tape and fix the sagging gasket on the front of your airbox. The airbox i bought for my car 2 years ago looked like that in the front and the 3m tape sealed the gasket on there tight and it has held for a good 2+ years now. oh and get a new electrical junction box. they are around $16 and look a lot better than that broken topless one that most LT1's end up with (mine was like that too)

I was going for more function over form getting it together. I just needed to get it on the road. I will be fixing little stuff like the box seal, junction box, etc soon. I actually had all my wires tucked when I had a LT1 but I wanted to leave it all normal for now in case I had any issues to diagnose. I've been driving it for about 6 days now and no issues, other than my Walbro 255 fuel pump going bad (third one in last 3 years). Replaced that today.
Next winter I will probably take the car all apart and paint the engine bay and underneath, get new stainless headers, delete the AC portion of the HVAC box, and do some other stuff with it. Maybe paint the exterior too.

honestly one of the best 93-97 formulas i have ever seen. super clean man. love the setup.
i agree on the 26" tires on drag wheels it sucks they look so weak. i have the same issue.

I thoght the same thing, but you need to always work out the bugs then you can rearrange all the small ****. Otherwise it looks bad ***
