motor is not in car yet, waiting for jake to finish body and suspension it will be mated to a 6l80 and paddle shifted. motor is at his shop and it is f/i , i havent released any details as there some things being done to car that no one has done yet. should be ready by june , not a trailer queen for sure.
I do believe they were LT1's correct?
Any mod plans for the LT1?
I have had bolton LT1s and a H&C LS1. Always wanted to build a Vortec SC'd 9:1 LT1 with a 6 speed behind it. A few friends had them in C4s and 4th gens and they would fly, nothing like the sound of the blower either.
just finished my 69 camaro, ls6 from 02 vette , why ? because my ls1 49 chevy pickup has had the holy hell beat from it for 5 years now, still runs strong. Loved them both so much I put a 5.3 in mt 95 chevy 4wd. power plus gas milage, who'd of thunk!
we just installed a carb'd LS2/T56 setup in a 67 RS Convertable. We used Hooker adapters and headers with some mods to the frame bracket location was a pretty straight-forward fit. We re-fabbed the "bolt-in" trans x-member to get the geometry and fit right. All in all it's a pretty simple simple deal.
Our next candidate is a 69 RS twin turbo'd LSx with a bunch of the fun goodies like aftermarket PCM, paddle shifted 4L60, drive-by-wire, twin fuel system etc. Should be a fun wiring project!!!
Nothing like having a 800hp 93 octane pump gas motor. That starts on the turn of the key every time. I drive the piss out of mine. Its a LQ4 6.0 with ported heads and F1A, backed up by a T56 with a Spec Stage 3 plus. It drives like a stock LS1 till it starts to build boost then the tires are useless. Here is a pic.

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.
