I'm doing and old school aluminum block 427 with the LSX firing order. According to my builder the firing order swap will be good for harmonics. Will see on the 13th, should be interesting.

LSX Tall deck
 

Twin 72 turbochargers on A tall deck LSX in A 69.Sorry for the crappy phone pics.

That sounds pretty cool.. and certainly different!

X2 and I would love to go that way too... butt when i lokked ito it I couldnt find a block under 3 K

Huuummm anyone know what a world products mowtown lite short block goes for? it might start looking affordiable

Any details on this? Special ignition / or control box? or is it as simple as changing the ignition wires?

Need a diff cam... thats it...

yes got 1 in a 67 chevelle

LS1 and T56 on a Budget?? Sort of....
 

BUMP to the Top!!

I bought a wrecked 99 Camaro with a T56 which is swapping into my 1969 Camaro. Lots of parts are finding their way into the first-gen, the dash, steering column, console, front seats, e-brake set up. It is a lot cheaper then you might think if you can find a donor car with all kinds of working parts to steal from. Selling parts off the 1999 to help fund the 1969 build. I bought a 1969 painted shell that someone else ran out of money and I picked it up. Not exactly a budget build, but a TON less than most other projects shown under construction on this site.

I think I just might be :willy: CRAZZZZY :willy: enough to get the gauge cluster, trunk release, wiper motor and cruise control working in it too after I tear apart the wiring harness and delete the unnecessary stuff.

I don't want to mess with the stock ABS, heater or sound systems from the 1999. I'm planning to go aftermarket for the heater/AC and sound system.

Hopefully by the fall I will be close to deciding on a setup. But right now Im leaning towards an LS3/stroker. Then maybe throwing a blower or snail on it down the road... :unibrow:

Sorry for the late response, missed it.

The aluminum first gen small block is from PBM. No special ignition, just a cam with LS firing order, MSD distributor w/6AL box and it is naturally aspirated. I picked up the motor from NYES Automotive out of Muncie, Indiana. Motor came with everything but carb, distributor, and accessories for $9500 including 168 tooth fly wheel and Moroso pan. I worked a deal to where I sent them my intake, Canton road race pan, and in trade they supplied a Hays aluminum flywheel. I also sent them my carb, distributor, and Lakewood bellhousing and they aligned the bell housing and dyno'ed the motor for me all inclusive so I couldn't pass.
