This looks pretty sick hotrod...i would consider doing this. i miss the sound of a v8 truck...maybe one day. keep up the good work. keep posting pics it will inspire me more.

 

[hotrodt]

just pulled everything back out. have to cut a small bit of metal out on driver side where header is hitting. then i will degrease and pressure wash engine bay and im thinking of painting bay black. then i have to wait on harness to get here so i can put everything back together for the last time. still have to order gauges and pod and a few other small items. all major fab work is done though. from here on out it will just be putting the final touch on everythiing. debating on wether i should paint engine or not and what color if i do?

Its a Beast!!! Will there be an LS1 swap write up when all is said and done?

not sure if i could do that. im not much of a writer lol. rexrunner would be the better one for that. he is f n smart. :top:

 

[rexrunner]

a write up?


ummm no... lol

every install is so different and personal, not just a cut and paste with every install

 

[hotrodt]

a write up?


ummm no... lol

That was my thought on it also. But I figured u would be able to describe more about the wiring to make everything work. But as far as metal fab that is a trial and error kinda thing.
