New ZL1 lid. Wanted to take advantage of the better inner cooler and looks.

Way nicer looking!

How far is it from the top of the lid to the cowl?

sweet! That looks good int here. Mine on the Camaro fits right in the hole for the cowl induction until I put the -12 fittings on then it hits the inner part of the hood.

Just to let you all know, I'm still working on the car! Lol.








New inner fenders came in very well scratched and dented. Pathetic quality control these days.

Hoping to be purchasing a new QP 9" w/ Wavetrac and 35 spline axles for this yet. Don't think the factory 12 bolt will be up to the task!

Looking real good. That motor looks "at home", LOL. I like the looks of the modified Vette/LSA FEAD. It would be cool if the offered the parts that goes into the "modified" part for people who all ready are running a Vette FEAD and want to go SC.

Thanks! Yes, I love how it looks in there. Now to start hooking things up! Still have to build the trans yet, get the new 9", a new driveshaft and figure out where/how to install the intercooler pump. Goal is to have in on the road by the end of May.

Lol. I like the contrast. I think I even need more of it. Time to get a few shiny pieces in there!

Looks really good! I really want to do a LSA swap, but wow just the LS swap is getting expensive. But once it's together, it's going to be worth it!
