Since its too cold to work outside now i've started my second LS swap inside before finishing the one sitting outside.
started by winning this off ebay
it was listed as brand new unopened, but it was missing some parts inside including the entire rear hatch..... so i got a full refund from the nice ebay guy.
then i picked up a corvette model, and cut apart the transaxle/torque tube setup, and made it a more conventional ls block + trans
firewall/trans tunnel needed some hammering in the form of a soldering iron
obviously custom engine mounts are required
and i had to remove the radiator from the chassis to fit the engine as well...
sadly i couldnt find the correct truck intake/ls1 accessories and im dealing with the ls2 intake+accessories, and since i dont feel like making headers from scratch im dealing with the vette manifolds for the exhuast too.
i havent made any plastic models since i was a kid, but im enjoying it. just wish i was better with a paintbrush (or toothpicks is what im using now)
