You can do it ! The path has already been laid out

What would be the ballpark $$$ of this swap for everything? Just curious how this would compare to the price of FI TT.

not sure.. i didnt pay full price on some stuff...and depends on what setup you go with Ls1,2,3... different tannys , where you source the parts..junk yards, ebay.....i read a story on someone who did a swap that was about free..he bought a salvage van with an iron block Ls and after parting out the van it paid for the swap..

I'm sure it would vary for sure. That's the benefit of LS swaps vs anything foreign is parts are much more available and less expensive for sure. Thanks for the response!

Had to send my drive shaft out for service...just got it back ..quick turnaround

wang on wang ..chasis mounted wing installed.. just needs some adjustments

I think your car is fantastic,but I'm really not digging the wing.Please tell me it's there purely for functionality,that I could live with;)

thanks... yea i wasnt a fan of the wing when i first saw it online.. i saw it in person at zdayz and decided id pull the trigger.. i wanted a chassis mount but options are very thin or pay a lot for a custom made...havent tracked yet but the wing seemed to make a difference even without dialing it in..

It would flow with the car a little better if you removed the factory one,also save you a couple pounds;)

Those are nice seats and what CF hood is that?

Vis vented hoodl

Are vents functional and do they have rain gutters underneath?

Nice build where in Central Florids are you?

vents help in venting the heat..i leave the rainguards off unless it rains. the intake filter sits under one of the vents

you need to post some driving vids :D

Car sounds great, man.

Damn -- great work! That thing's a monster.

Is it fully tuned? If so, what are you putting down?

thanks.. tuned a little over 500

Yes yes I would

Is there a list somewhere of all the parts needed to do a swap and approximate costs? Wondering how costs would compare for an ls swap vs TT vq. What LS would people recommend and where do you find hem other than buying new form Chevy?

How did your track day go?

With all that aero it must have been a beast coming out of the turns.

don't have a list.. maybe my "to do " list on the first page.. i didnt pay full price on some stuff so id say prices vary.. You can start with the LS Swap kit from Fueled Racing . with that youll get oil pan, motor & trans mounts, longtube headers , driveshaft ... you'll need a harness . i got one from psi conversion ... Looks like the TT prices are high but Ls prices could be high also.. You could get a TT kit used (or buy separate parts ) and pay less , you could also get a Ls eng& trans used (or buy separate ) and pay less... You could check the site Ls1tech.com , ebay , car-parts.com

i read a story/blog somewhere where a guy bought a wrecked chevy van at a junk yard. he used the engine for his swap and parted out the rest of the van to where it pretty much paid for the swap

I know some people that can make custom harnesses if anyone is interested.
