LS1 Swap progress..

[Camaro_SLP]

None really as of yet..

I wanted to do a few things before I got this project rolling. For anyone who doesn't know, I'm putting an LS1 into my 94.

I failed emissions a couple months ago,,so before I could start this, I wanted to pass while I still had a chance. I tweaked a few things and ended up passing on my second try by .001 hydrocarbon. With that under my belt, I decided to give the 3.4 another chance at the track. lol...I took the car back to the track last Friday. I consistantly ran slow 16.4's trapping around 82-83 MPH. I won't be missing the engine / ETAs after this project.. :D

I also paid insurance recently, so with those three things set, I'm ready to go. I will officially be starting this any day now..I sent my PCM to get reprogrammed, so when I get it back, it's go time. As I mentioned before, my entire car will be getting a 'make-over.' Pretty much the only things that will remain the same are the seats. I'm really looking forward to this [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

I'm doing an lt1 into a '99 which just might be the most difficult of all. Good luck.

I think I'm about to put an LS1 on the 'ol credit card and do the same.
I am pretty effin sick of my car right now.

I'm doing a few bolt-ons and tuning first..I do plan on heads and cam for the winter.

Why the hell would you do that? Why not put an LS1 in. Same year to same year is A LOT easier than what I'm doing..

My PCM should be coming back to me reprogrammed any day now. I'm really excited about getting this thing in. I've spent quite a few on parts so far. Everyones response is always "why didn't you just buy a new car?" I know that this is still cheaper than buying a 99+ LS1 Camaro...

I've heard them both, and I've compared the price of aftermarket parts in case I decide to go all out, and the lt1 is simply my engine of choice. I understand the extra work, but unless I run into a really cheap '99 Ls1, then the lt1 goes in.
