My 2 centavos >>> I was very lucky that I got a well built LS1 on a super clean Cali Z , if there are no short cuts in the modification with high details on the work done, the rewards are like having great sex all the time with a fit , trim , clean and seductive babe
hahah. well, i'm glad I didnt take the shortcut road.

After seeing your project through, what did you think of car when driving it? Was it more or less what you expected? I honestly havent driven my Z since 2006-2007. In that time, i've had the opportunity to drive some of the worlds greatest sports cars on and off track. i guess part of me is just worried that after experiencing that, plus the time and money invested, my Z will not be fun to drive as my perception was back in 2006 and i'll be left wanting. hard to imagine with 400+hp and 2300 lbs i know, but hopefully you all get the idea.
As i'm getting closer to seeing this project through, it just kinda dawned on me.. "i hope after all this work, I like it" haha.

just read this thread lol. Final, final version lol. I like seeing the progress. It helps me see mine through.

oh I plan on it. I have a go pro so the quality will be good. I have some other videos, but it's with the old motor.

Thanks to all the members who have posted their experiences and wisdom. The project is finally getting close to being done.
I'll be putting the headers and my starter on tonight. Car goes to the shop on the 19th for some frame/cage work.
-
I finally got around to installing my engine and t56 using John's kit. I was pleased with the install. Everything looks to line up. JTR headers fit as advertised. So far so good.
-
i purchased a T56 transmission, Flywheel, clutch, PCM and Harness, 27 spline stub axles. Getting closer!!!

My condolences to the Family. Very sad news to find this out today. I went to his website this morning and looked here for answers. I purchased his rear brake kit many years ago, but he always treated me as if I was his best customer. He will be missed.

That did more to wake me up than my morning coffee. Thanks for that video.
