What are your power goals? The LS1 is a great engine.
I want a platform that I can do enough work (cam, lifters, turbo) to eventually get a solid 550-600 on the ground. I'm planning on doing the turbo the same time i do the new front clip (winter of 2014). I'm planning on having this rig drivable by next summer (no turbo). I know a lot of people claim high numbers on horsepower, but i think i'm one that isn't 'all talk' (at least based on my jeep build i just finished dumping way too much money into...haha).

Last night i pulled the harness off the engine/transmission and mounted the engine on a stand. I ordered a new oil pan and pick up tube since the GTO pan won't fit in the 1gen subframe. Pulled the clutch off, and it's a least a stage 3 monster clutch Looks like it has some life left, so I won't be replacing the clutch...yet.

Got the new oil pan on and started a rough fitting of the engine. This is going to be interesting with the A/C condenser and alternator on the bottom....

Default Progress

Well, I haven't reported anything new for a while....but I finally have some to report.

First off, I have a few things on the way. Rear wheels will be here tomorrow. Rear tires will be here Friday. New engine mount plates (moving the engine back 3") will be here Friday. MGW shifter will be here Friday (short throw and moving the sifter 3-4" forward from the GTO location). Vintage Air system shipping out Thursday.

Rear tires I ended up with:
345/30r18 g-force t/a drag radials


Rear wheels:
Boyd Coddington SOB 18x12. 5.5" bs


Art Morrison rear clip installed. Ford 9" assembled (brakes and all). Axle under the back.
