update : got the car back.. the episode will air September 4th on the Velocity channel... i have work to do :usa:

Congrats! What show if I may ask?

All Girls Garage :driving:

I wonder if the new 8L90 tranny would fit. much better tranny from what the vette guys have told me hence the switch from the 6l80 to the 8l90 in one year of the vette being out.

Awesome!!!! I may pick up a 370 again after all the bugs have been worked out with this swap kit. I been saying this would happen as far back as a year ago, and it's happening!!

Bought the car and started the process a year ago.. Thought about doing this after zdayz 2013

LS motor = 6.2 liters right?

......Time to call it the 620Z!!!!!!! 430+ hp, 420lb/ft. torque; 12 sec 1/4s all motor!!!!

Chevy power FTW!!!!!

Can't wait for these kits to become mainstream like Hinson swaps for RX7s!!!!

I am just curious, does your G have a VSR kit that All girls garage did a few years back too?

Nope.. Saw that episode.. Mine is a momentum turbo kit

^I'm not an expert on Chevy motors, but could the C6 Z06 motor fit too? Or are the dimensions different than the LS3?

Engine is from an 08 c6 vette... The accessories configuration had to be changed to Gto (I think) to fit

subscribed. did you take off the front strut brace for show?

got one.. there's a lot to do before i put it on..and im missing the bolts for it too

Making progress brotha.

Subscribed... Very excited for you, dude.

For those who complain the Z lacks guts but don't want to go FI....620Z! or LS 370Z

I knew this was coming. I'm debating whether to go FD3S LS swap or this. Gotta wait and see.

im really excited for you bro! this is gonna be a popular option i can see it now! very cool! are those Aristoga coils??

bc racing with swift spings

Max your car is lookin more badass

Wake that LS up with a single turbo. Turn that 500 into a 900 easily :)

What's with all the rust in the firewall?

What sucks about our cars is that when water runs down the front windshield and onto where the panels meet the edge of the windshield, it seeps down and through the back of the battery area and into the bottom. That is where you see the rust and mineral build up in that photo. So if the Z was driven in the winter, chances are you will find the same build up in that spot.

This is also the same reason why using the grommet where all the wires enter the cabin as a way to hook up gauges are a bad idea. The grommet will be worthless and leak water into the cabin unless it is sealed off again with some sort of sealant.

Yha its either water damage or a past battery was leaking and corroded the metal.
