about time to start the project

[drvngstorm05]

kpot is like a little me... LOL looking at that soon list, that's what i'm going to do. i already have the lt1, but i want 3.73's and i'm gonna spray it by summer time (so i can hopefully own john, curtis, geno, and frank if he decides to meet)

if you can have that done by summertime you should come play too

[KPot2004]

well the lt1 and 3.73's should be done by summer, the NOS is more of a wish thing, probably wont happen anytime soon. if i get a good check on payday, the camaro is going in the garage the same day.

LS7 new in box = 15,000 not a typo

[drvngstorm05]

i would also strongly recommend the lt4 hotcam... i love it and it makes gobs of power

yea i know... for less than half of an ls7 i could easily make an lt1 run better and stronger than an ls7

[Xenostalgia]

But you can't go around with your nuts hanging out saying 'i got an ls7, bow and kiss'

drvngstorm05 how tough was the Lt1 install? Did you have to fabricate your own motor mounts? How did you hook up the exhaust to the manifolds? Im wanting some more power and the L98 bottom end wont support much more than 350 hp. So ive been told.

[drvngstorm05]

very tru xeno... that you can't... but at the same time you can own a guy with an ls7... and make them kiss your nuts

[drvngstorm05]

no motor mounts work just fine, but i did use polyurethane mounts just in case. i didn't want to spend all the time on the swap and use the crappy exhaust manifolds, i have shorty slp headers that were meant for a tpi car with a single cat... however your car has dual cats so you would get different headers than that...

if i were to rate the difficulty of the swap, i would say it is a 7 or 8 out of ten... its tedious, and took me a long time, but nothing is impossibly difficult, it well just test your determination, OFTEN

Thats good to hear, Dave. Real good to hear.

[KPot2004]

i dont think it will be to difficult, the thing i like about this swap is i dont have to have it done. i can see it being a bitch if it was your everyday driver that you had to have done, but i'll have about 8-9 months.

[drvngstorm05]

lol it took me about 1 week less than an entire year...

but then again, during school i could only really work on it on the weekends so it could be done much faster i'm sure

I can't expect to get much from selling it. Probably $800 tops. As for the lt1 linked to in ebay

this one!

The top bid is almost $4,000 and the reserve has not yet been met. I was actually hopeing to spend about half that or less.

I think I may have found another car though... lets see if anyone can guess what it is... its a Chevy, of course, its got a v8 though not a lt1, ls1 or 305. It has 2 seats and gets its name from a marine animal.

[Link85x]

Damn, i'm tryin to think of it, but nothing comes to mind...

[KPot2004]

yeah me either

[Link85x]

Hey Kpot, did you get the stuff for your swap? Recieve motor/tranny yet?
