But seriously just because the parts "bolt"on doesn't mean they are "bolt on" parts, you have to find the right combination for your car to make it all work correctly. Remember this cars are VERY different from one another to begin with so some adjustment may be necessary.
By the way love the car and project!! |
I understand the hot rodding mindset and never expect things to "blot on". Especially considering I tend to do things a little differently with my builds. I dont think a 6l80/90 has been put in a 2nd gen yet so i new there were going to be plenty of challenges.

I know i can make the truck intake fit. I love running the truck stuff on my builds. the intake performs the same as an ls3 intake but more torque and everything is dirt cheap.
I have the same setup in my chevelle.
It is close now. I just need to figure out where to put the subframe before i make any more changes.

Keep at it ... it will be worth it!

The car has a lot of potential. I am going to do a couple of custom body mods but the cars looked great stock.
I build my cars during nights and weekends, its tuff to find time to make calls and buy things during regular business hours.
