My new Motor
Well, folks the project begins. I just made a deal on an LS1 from a 2000 Firebird. It comes with a 4L60E automatic overdrive and a bunch of other related parts. The motor and trans only have about 9k miles on them. I will be picking it up next Thursday, but it will have to wait till next fall to start the actual engine swap. Hope I can wait that long! But that gives me plenty of time to gather all the rest of the things I will be needing and finish planning the project. I'll keep everyone posted.
By the way the fellow I bought it from also has a '67 Camaro RS for sale, no motor or trans, mostly apart, but 90% there and still rolling with very little rust and some new body panels. He is asking $3500 for it. PM me if you are interested.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
