Nice progress Jacob! It's gonna be sick...

Bbarbulo the fuel system will depend on wether or not you need to keep all factory emissions. If not there are quite a few easy solutions. Send me a pm and I'll try to help you figure out a solution.

Apparently who ever installed my dash was having a crappy day on the production line. All of the dash cover bolt heads were literally touching the plastic beside them.:evil: Also the genius who decided it was a great idea to mount the bulk of the interior wiring to the dash frame should be...

They should. To be honest I'm not sure why people have header issues with LS swaps in gbodys. The frame widens out so much before the firewall in these cars it's ridiculous. The only issue I could see is the steering shaft might not clear headers with certain motor mounts.(which is why I think...

If your going to keep factory efi let me know I'll try to make more detailed notes as I go thru the engine harness.

Hey all, sorry there hasn't been any progress but between work and getting ready for Christmas I haven't had much free time. Hopefully Friday I can get the dash pulled and remove everything on the firewall. Also I'm hoping someone can tell me how to remove this quarter window trim? I don't see...

Thanks Jacob. That I good idea lilbowtie. I might just have to lift it off that way.

It is fairly clean, however the last time the master cylinder went it flooded the drivers pan with brake fluid. That and although the undercoating that was on the car did a good job for the last 30 years but it's pretty dried out now and I don't want it holding moisture. If I do blast it I will...

Well after thinning the harness, wiring a few relays, a few fuses, and laying it out the way you want then wrapping it with electrical tape and wire loom. The only thing you have to provided from the car is a few 12v hot and 12v keyed electrical sources. Aside from that it depends on what you...

I think 853s are supposed to be decent too though they share the same low CR issues the 317s have, but that's easily remedied. 243 would have been nice although they probably have different accessory mounting hole locations as they are car heads. Although I'd have to look it up to be certain.

That's an awesome deal on the 4.8 too. The reason I ended up going with lq4 is most of the 4.8s and 5.3s are pulling over 1,200 bucks around here so I figured why not. By the way what cast# are the heads; 317 are fairly common and are basically ls1 heads with bigger combustion chambers so they...

Here's some interior pics. Luckily my wife is understanding when it comes to the whole basement and garage being filled with parts. :)

What are you planning on using for ignition control? I know msd make a control box but the are probably better options for the money. By the way that was a pretty sweet deal you got on the motor. Around my area they try and rape you at most yards I ended up paying about 1600 for my lq4 but it...

Hey guys thought I would start a build thread as a journal for my project. I finally have a place of my own to work on the car so about a month ago I started into it again. The motor and Trans have been pulled for about the last six years so I flat bedded it to the house. And went at it. So far...

It's probably just the new springs and cam. a lot of the comp ls cams have a very aggressive ramp rate for the opening and closing events of the lobes.. what are the specs for the new cam?
