LOWDEDZ

sorry it took me so long to post on here guys, but I kinda forgot about this site. Here is a link to my completed swap from a few years back..... http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=258953&page=1

Yeah I have a couple. Here is one from when the car was untuned with no Fuel Pressure Reg. Dynoed at 386 on 7cyls. It was running way to rich and fouling plugs and o2 censors! http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g54/lowdedz/?action=view&current=LSZDyno002.flv And here is a Compilation Video with the old look before I re-painted, new wheels, and front end............ http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g54/lowdedz/?action=view&current=Jim1.flv

yeah I should have known that anyway as small as Sumter is. The guys off of NICO are actually having a meet in Myrtle Beach on July 14th if you are interested in attending. It is just a skip down the road fro you.

Are you near Shaw Airforce base?

Where in SC are you?

It actually took me about a about a year. However, the reason being was, I bought the motor while my Z was still running with the N/A motor. The LS1 motor sat in my my garage for like 6 months while I still researched more on the swap. I decided if I didnt go ahead and take the first step and take out the N/A motor, Then I would never get it done. So from the actual time it took from pulling the N/A motor to putting in the LS1 where it was drivable, it only took about 3 months.

Whats up guys? I have'nt post on here in a long time but I figured I would get on here to and give you an update on my car. It has been running strong for a year now with no probs. I am very happy with the swap and would def recommend it to anyone who was considering. Here are a few pics of the car now with the new paint and wheels. Sorry the only motor pics I have are with the old paint........... -This is the pic with the old paint

I guess we will see as far as the ground clearence.....There was no way in hell I was going to cut my hood, I want a clean swap and the car to still look fairly stock.. (minus the 285/30/18 in the back)

here are some more pics, http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g54/lowdedz/LS1Swap015.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g54/lowdedz/LS1Swap029.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g54/lowdedz/LS1Swap026.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g54/lowdedz/LS1Swap037.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g54/lowdedz/LS1Swap041.jpg

Yeah same way with me, Vann and I were communicating by email for like 2 months and he was helping me alot with the swap, but then all of a sudden I didnt get a reply from him and it has benn about 3 months now. But I thin he stays pretty busy between work and school...... What did you do about gauges and what kind od radiator are you planning on running?

Oh...if you are in houston, then you prolly know Vann(white LS1 swapped Z) or maybe have even seen his car b4. No, I dont have AIM but you can just email me LOWDEDZ@gmail.com

yeah the reason my firewall cut is so low is for hood clearence so and mine only clears by about a 1/4 inch so good luck with yours! that is interesting about the way you are doing your mounts, I am curious to see how they turn out. Send me some pics ASAP. BTW- where are you from?

did you takes pics of your crossmember? I will post some more of the pix that I have........http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g54/lowdedz/LS1Swap004.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g54/lowdedz/LS1Swap035.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g54/lowdedz/LS1Swap022.jpg

me too, my crossmember is finished and the motor has been mounted like 3 times now so it fits great. Now we are fabbing up the firewall. My car was originally a non-turbo automatic Zcar so I had to put in the clutch pedal assembly and I was planning on using the LS1 clutch cylinder but It wont fit properly so I am currently working on getting the Z32 cylinder. What did you decide to do about your gauges? Are you going to try and run A.C.? What radiator are you going with?- I still hav'nt measured yet for mine.

I wasnt sure what headers to go with so I thin I am going to stick with the stock one for now. How much longer do you have on yours?
