SpartanZ32 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Making very good progress on my Z32 LS1 project. No cutting of the firewall and/or the hood. The T56 and LS1 (foam mockup block) have been temporarily installed! A few tweaks to my custom subframe, and I think I'm set! Here's a pic of the mockup block with the T56 attached.

1FASTKINGCAB Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Looks good, I'd like to see the under side, could it be too low? Do you have enough clearance for a Carburetor intake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartanZ32 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 For those who are interested, my project is still in motion (although going slow due to my crazy work travels). I decided to take what I've already done myself (custom front crossmember, steering rack mounts, etc) to a hotrod shop a few hours from my house to have the motor mounts and other minor fab work completed. I'm pleased to say that as of yesterday, the LS1 and T56 are in the car.....with no cutting of the firewall! Had to use a custom bellhousing as well as a manual rack to work. A custom one-off oilpan is being built now, as all oil pans on the market hang too low. Oil pan, wiring harness, driveshaft, headers, etc are next. I wonder when this car will be finished. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to put my 6.2 in my old Z32 but I don't want to destroy my 100% perfect interior and to be honest I hate working under the dash of a car more than the dentist.

hawaiifiveoh Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 More info would definitely be appreciated by more than a few people man, care to share and any chance of a hookup with all the custom goodies/etc for others to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartanZ32 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 I'm actually working with my fabricator to build a few of the "kits" for anyone who may be interested. I dont want to jump the gun and make any promises....so I wont make any moves like that until my car is complete and running. But as it stands right now, over a years worth of designing, fabbing, and flat-out punching the wall in frustration, things are finally working out!! I'm terrible at posting progress pics, but I'll do my best to keep this thread going with updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
