Stevej Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Been lurking here and at ls1tech for awhile, tons of useful info on both sites. Thanks for posting and working through so many issues you've encountered. Time permitting probably a month or so from completion. Steve Couple pics.

Bartman Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 You must have done a great job lurking, because you're already pretty far along. What are your plans (rear end, fuel tank, wheels, other modifications, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwik240z Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Welcome to the LS1 Z club. Looks like a nice clean install. JCI mounts make it easy. Mine should be on the road next week. Let us all know if we can help with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevej Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Had this car apart for awhile and it used to have a pretty stout 3 litre with triple SKs header and so forth. It's really just going to be a track/autocross/really uncomfortable street car so it's got a cage (afraid to post pics after the spanking the Vollkswagen guy got her), fual cell, racing seats and so on. Have a couple of sets of R180 and R200 that I swapped in and out to change gear ratios but need to install a LSD. Since I decided to go the LS1/T56 route I wanted to sort the rear end before I needed to get the driveshaft made. I just picked up a Q45 3.54 Diff (Pick a Part $60)so I'm going that route with Ross's adapters and axles. Suspension: ground control camber plates on all 4 corners, shortened struts, coil overs, koni inserts Brakes: JSK 4 lug kits front and rear running wilwood superlites through a proportioning valve with a line lock For wheels I'm running 245/45/17s on 4 lug 8.5" wheels using long Moroso studs and 5/8 aluminum adapters, it just barely clears the rolled fender and the coil overs. I'll throw some pics up in a member gallery. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I figured you were planning some serious racing when I saw the adjustment plates at the top of the strut towers. I'm impressd with how clean it looks. Obvious pride in your craftsmanship. Taking time to do it right. Looks Great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
