Default Ls1 coupe finally done!!!

Well after almost 6 months of building I was able to bring it home. mred and I did the motor and trans swap and Sam rewired the body harness and installed the motor harness and tuning. It runs pretty good. Specs are 3.73 gears, stock 241 heads and a trex cam and ace racing built transmission. Runs awesome. Thanks guys.

It's aligned, just no power steering, when the car is driving its the right side up. Now that I think about it I should have bought a 10" chain wheel!! Rofl.
