On my old Tpi sbc I used a aftermarket bellhousing, t5 clutch, t56 hydraulic system and a rebuilt ls1 t56. When I went with the ls1 engine I ended up selling the aftermarket bellhousing and just used a stock ls1 bellhousing.

i remember that car... mostly from the intake that you built... wow what happend to it?

Question, i noticed you posted a picture of a C4 with an LS3, do you know how difficult the swap was for the owner? it looks really clean, very factory appearing.

Do you have a build thread on the red one? And did you end up selling the black one or not yet?

Theres a thread on TGO. I might start one on here. The auction for the black one ends tonight. If it dont sell im probably goin to part it out. The motor/trans and harnessmight stay in the car but im just goin to take the intake, accessories and sensors for the red one. Probably sell the rims seperate too

Saw this car for sale on TGO and ebay. Did it ever sell? Just curious what a car like this is worth.
