Well first off I bought the halos and the HID kit. I'm not keeping the stock headlights. Secondly shes getting a set of silver metallic rally racing stripes (black car) that will go real well with the z06's, not too mention the clear corners. And that absolutely gorgeous to me. I just never really liked the way the LT1 looked, too much like the third gens with the lights and all, and man I really dislike third gens. Not hatin on anyone that's just how I feel.

Also there's been a few guys on here that I've seen with LS1 bodies and a LT1 motor, looks like they just threw in a LT1 instead, which isn't really any different from what I'm doing. other than a few small things like brakes and interior. Where's that formula firebird guy when you need him.

 

hey man that's awesome, whatever makes you happy, post some pics of your work.

 

here's the tear down







juat threw the fenders on to get a vision. new hood is on as well, just hard to tell. It's just a stock 2002 LS1 hood.



That was last weekend. Can't get home this weekend cause I'm booked with school, finals are coming up. But next week, I'm hitting the checy dealer that my dad's friends with. I stll need all the little stuff like fog/healight brakets, and some hardware for the ls1 face. You just can't find that **** at the junkyard, almost impossible.

 

its 7 brakets that you need
1-bumper top support
2-fender support
2-headlight brackets (2 fogs, optional)
2-fender to headlight bracket support
=7
you should be able to use the same hardware

 

i wish i took pics of the tear down

 

Yeah I have a list from camaroz28. The guy did a write up and has a list of the part numbers. Small stuff like that I'm hitting the parts store from the dealership. I'm sick of doing this scavenger hunt. It's getting old now, I want to start painting already.

 

lt1 motor does not suck at all.!:-

 

What? who said it sucks?

 

NO ****

 

No one said anything about the LT1.. I think someone said something about the LS1 front on a LT1 Car..

 

Still have your SS hood for sale??

 

Sounds like a cool swap. How much you want for the lt1 ss Hood? I am assuming it's black? Right?

 

yes i still got it, ill need $350 and ill deliver within 100 miles for $10
and yes its black

 

What part in NJ are you? Is it factory or a reproduction? Lighter than a stock z28 hood? Let me know, I'm interested.

 

in south river. its lighter, and i dont know the brand but its aftermarket

 

I'll think about it, would have to have someone meet you or send you a little more to go a extra 45-50 miles.

 

just let me know what you want to do and when ur ready

 

i wanna see more on this, i want to do the same swap on my drop top down the road i think. Not totally sure. if someone can come up with some HIDs that dont look like trash ill go that route, but umm...yea

 

its just as easy as replacing the original fenders bumper hood and lights

 

got some heated arguements here... this is great... i do like the idea though...
