As much as I love the LT1 vs LS1 argument, Let's make a new thread for this you bums. I'm trying to document a build here!!

Updates will come NEXT WEEKEND. I will be flying into Philly next Thursday night the 17th at about 9pm and working on the car well into the night and all of Friday and Saturday.

Nice man night work is fun except for when your neighbor walks over and says "seriously, your using the air tools at 1130? shut the fuck up!" as for the lt1 ls1 thing ill say what i always say im not trying to prove anything if i had enough money to throw away on an lsx swap i sure would but LOL to the ls1 owners paying over double what i paid for my car and only advantage is a few more ponies and different system, and also having to pass emissions. be jealousssss!!!!

Reserved for lots of pics...will host/post tonight after work.

Couple footnotes: decided to ditch the HVAC all together, cruise control gone, ABS gone, battery being relocated to the trunk, and have decided to go with a manual steering rack - that stopped us a little short of where we wanted to get but all in all a very successful weekend!

your taking WAY too much time!!! for christ sakes. pull some all nighters like i did GET R DONE!!!

Probably won't be done until over the winter. I won't be able to get back down there until August and there's a good chance I'll be moving back down there by this winter so it may never make it up to NH. Time will tell.

Either way, the funds can only be spent so fast, I can't just throw $5k a month at this thing and get it done quickly...ass. Getting new ball joints for the front end and 100% all new OEM hoses and most sensors for the new motor. I also just sent the intake manifold out to get powder-coated. THE STEERING RACK ALONE IS $700. IT TAKES TIME.

Sheesh. I'll deal with you Sunday.

AHHHAHAHAHAHAHA love you too!!

and another reason i dont have a manual rack. aside from they SUCK!
