Just saw this thread for the first time...beautiful car! Love the right hand drive and execution is amazing. The pics of you guys in the tunnel should be hanging on your wall somewhere, seriously!

The noise was also memorable, all the better from a convertible. Here is a pic of yellow Camaro next to me 634 cubic inch. 67 Camaro in front is another BBC, and so on

Been awhile, the tinkering still goes on, remembering this LS conversion was done way back in 2006 when you made it all up yourself. Engine bay relocated coils to under valve covers, replaced OEM accessory drive with Drive Junky, replaced engine mounts with Holley version, replaced fabricated oil pan with the Holley 302-2. This located engine a bit lower which is what I was after. Installed Dakota Digital RTX gauges, swapped steering wheel to small dish, larger diameter, and black. Switched front springs to Ridetech Streetgrip (so much better ride than the Hotchkis, (again this was along time ago). Upgraded stereo to a bluetooth version. Some pics

Glad to see you're still enjoying the car and making positive changes. Any idea how many miles you've put on the car since "completion"

Around 12,000 - 14,000 miles, I've had 3 different speedo set ups since completion.
