go slower in the rain guys. pics explain it all
 

As of this morning, I now have an LT1/T56 combo thanks to some water and trees. I'm fine but this really hurts. I really liked this car. I took out a four inch diameter tree with the front corner.That spun me around again and slammed the back end into the trees where I finally stopped moving. Watched three other people nearly loose it in the same spot while waiting for the tow truck. Many more got squirrelly though. So as of now, no more 6.6 Gen 3. I'd rather try out a turbo LT1. So if anyone out there has info on building a good turbo combination or has links to some examples, I could use some cheering up. I think a turbo LT would be a great choice that's different. Thanks

That sucks dude.. Almost lost my camaro a few times to some stop signs.. No one feels like stopping anymore..

Please let me know how your LT1 swap goes, planning on getting a 78 T/A soon :thumbsup:


Going to do an interior swap also?

That blows!!

bad day that's for sure! You are ok?

Jody was building a TT LT1 a few years ago....here's some pics.

some luck. my buddy at work wrecked his 96 t/a lt1 t56 to rain just yesterday. he put his into a fence.

Hope ur swap goes well good luck

Jody's car was sick. I wonder if the person he sold it to finished it? I'd love to build something to that level but can not afford to. Basically, what I am looking at is if I can make a turbo LT1 perform like a stroked 6.0 Gen 3 and for around the same cost, I'm in. I realize the stroked 6.0 Gen 3 will not be pushing its limits and the LT1 will be more so but I'm not really planning on anything more than upper 400s pushing 500 to the wheels. I want a sick torque band more than anything else. My TA is not lightweight

Man, sorry to see that, but at least you're ok.. cars can be replaced of fixed, that's harder to do with people.

Good to hear you are doing well. I have been thinking about buying up an LT1 to build up. I have found some in the 500 dollar range on Craigslist.

Sorry to hear :( . I had a similar accident back in the day with my Dad's '96 V6 Camaro. Except the dent on the rear was from where I punched the car after seeing the damage up front. Atleast you have a cool car to put the drivetrain in :thumbsup: .

Welcome to the 4 gen curse I wrecked mine in pretty much the same way. Sorry you had to wreck it. It always sucks. Good luck on the swap.
