I bought a 1996 Z28 for $1700 and sold a few things and scrapped the wrecked body and came out to $1150 for the engine, t56, leather front seats, and center consule, pretty good deal for a running LT1/T56.

Got the LT1 and T56 in tonight for a rough fit and to get some other thing to fit like the master cylinder and slave cylinder and custom transmission crossmember.

I still have got to get the old harness out and cut everything out of it that I don't need like the tbi and anything associated to it but all in all I think I've lost about 60lbs or more of dead weight.
Still has some time before it hits the autocross again but when it does it will be a awesome thing to drive.

I test fitted the harness but had to pull it back to run the harness through the dash for a cleaner look.Name:  2016-07-19 17.59.41.jpg

But didn't have enough wire to run the ecm to the stock spot and so I lost my space for the glovebox.Name:  2016-07-19 17.59.10.jpg
