Did you talk to Gene? Ill be heading over there tomorrow. He's got an LS3 he's building right now for another Camaro swap. Told him to get on here and get a hold of you. At the very least he can point you in the right directions.

Corvette mikes will do it!
They put an ls into anything and build kit cars. They were going to do it for my 95z28 but I decided to give it a shot.

hit up my buddies shop Jr competition in escondido... i tune for them, they do a lot of LS swaps in classics and have an awesome fabricater on premises just case something custom needs to be made (you never know this isnt a exact science), plus him and i work hand in hand with the tuning so the car will be covered in both arena's... i recently tuned a certain skateboarding celebrities 69 camaro that they swapped an ls into...

Did you end up going with anyone in So Cal? I was also looking around for a fab shop in OC if anyone else has other shops they would recommend

How much do these swaps run? I wanted to swap a LS engine into my Z but i think 10,000$ is a bit too much for me!?
