Hey John! I know a little about the project you are undertaking.

Sup guys and gals. Thought I'd post here as well and represent the NW F Body owners.

I live in Seattle and currently go to the UW and live in the area. I have met a few people from this board in the area as well and it is awesome to meet new people/friends that have the same interests.

If anyone else wants to meet up I'm down, it is a lot of fun.

And for the heck of it here is some random pic of my car next to my friends A4:

Don, are you saying that you have an LS1 in your Chevy II? If so, I do have a few questions for you. I have just set the motor in the car and am going to start setting up the trans mount this weekend. Well, that is the plan anyway. Then there is the rear end, a Ford 9". Plan to also mini tub the rear and add some frame connectors. I have already installed a TCI subframe.

Would really like to get any help you can give.

About drag racing.............. We have an 85 Camaro that we run in NHRA Stock Eliminator. Am in the process of putting a new motor together for it before the start of this season.

Look forward to hearing from you.

No, I have a Gen I SBC in mine.


Here's a shot of the subframe connectors I built. they work great and really stiffen the floppy Chevy II.

Hello all, have posted briefly on this forum before, guess I better properly introduce myself though. Name's Norm, moved here in June 2007 in the Renton area. Work for Boeing. I have always been infatuated with Pontiac power above all others, but just never had the means to procure a decent car until now. Own a 98 T/A, no mods which I know of, but had to buy when I saw a it was a 98 with only 58k on it.

Hey, I've been trolling the forums quite a bit and I guess I should introduce myself since I plan posting here more often now. I bought her in Sep last year and I'm slowly modding her. So far she has what's in the sig and heres my fav pic of her.

Here at McChord with JCCamaro. Bought mine in Sept 07 also. basically stock... for now. Hoping to get some ARH LTs and Bassani TD setup by end of this summer.
Had a mean ole 93 LT1 before this one. But most of the work was done by someone else(police auctioned drug dealer car haha) and after having a couple (significant)problems with it, I decided to go LS1, and start from the ground up. Not only will I KNOW for a fact what is done to my engine and by whom, I might learn something as well.
