It's all coming together...
Already have mounts, engine, harness, and PCM. Tomorrow I'll be getting the swap headers. I'm doing some research to see if I can run the dual disc clutch that comes in the new ZR1 vette (believe it or not but the clutch set is around ~$550 including flywheel!) After that I'm just waiting on input shaft/front plate and a slave cylinder. _________________

Hate is such a strong word. I'm jealous of myself actually.

It's crazy light. I'm glad though, my pig of a car will do well to shed some pounds.

Yup! I'm waiting for a bumper I got off TGO to arrive and then they'll start tearing it apart.

A local yard we deal with a lot gave me a good deal on a motor with 46k on it.
Dirty Steve has been trying for the last couple days to have me swap my HSR'd 305 into his mudbathfinder.  |

I would love an LS7. They don't give those away though.
Are you going to run it all stock Ian? 400hp and 24mpg is just phenominal. Those LSx series motors are just friggen cool. At least I can always upgrade once I get my setup nailed down. |

With how much I blurted out about LS swaps these last few years are you guys actually surprised I'm tackling one?!

ls7--13k and you supply the oiling system
Stock for now, yes. Other than an LS6 manifold/TB and long tube headers. |

Do you have a new fender?
If you dont mind paying shipping, I can look at the parts yard here for anything you need. They just got bought out and are almost doubling its size. |
