dat240zg Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Today it happened! I was finally able to get the LT1 bolted up in the Z. I'm really pumped - with the motor in I can make the most of the Thanksgiving holiday. Big thanks to dsommers for loaning me his hoist and load leveler. Also, my father-in-law gave up his afternoon (and the Colts game) and between the two of us we were able to get the motor in place in just a couple of hours. Nothing earth shattering, but in truth, it's a huge relief to have this thing in! Here are a couple of pics: Getting close! I'll have the body panels back on in a few days, radiator, oil cooler, a/c condensor and the spoiler on by the end of the holiday. Woo hoo!

SmogSUX Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Looks good, I plan on doing this swap eventually. What mounting kit did you use for the engine and what tranny you go with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat240zg Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thanks guys. Trust me, when the motor is finally running, there'll be a new foggy for the sig pic! The mounts are the JTR plates and the tranny mount is the John's cars. The tranny is the T-56. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsommer Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Guys, Brian is a MONSTER!!! He shows up at a little after 1PM to pick up my hoist and brings it back around 6ish. I've seen his car in person and he is taking NO short cuts in making a world class car, attention to detail is through the roof, way to go Brian!!!

Bartman Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Way to go Bryan, it's going to look awesome when your finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat240zg Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thanks again guys. I'm pumped that the motor is in finally! I'm getting ready to go out and get working on it some more..... I've got to be honest, I'm dreading finishing up the wiring - that's where my skills run out - anyone want to make the trip to Arkansas for a wiring party?
