Hahaha...fox..I forgot and was too lazy to back up a few threads. I don't wish another accident on you. The bumper isn't fixed yet or did I miss that too?

Nah, still busted... goes to the customizing shop on january 2nd. 3 days b4 it goes to the shop to have the motor pulled. That way there is no front bumper skin, headlights or hood on it when we see up the motor and intercooler/piping.

New 20 gallon fuel cell ordered and about to arrive. Sits in the stock location with sump and baffles. Ordered through Alex Santacroce.

New 10" billet converter... 3600 stall, spec'd for my build by the late Frank Cahall & Protorque.

New Clear Image Automotive Headers, with 2" primaries and 3 and 1/2" collectors, plus tubular trans crossmember ordered .

New Universal piping kit and intercooler ready to go, from Ebay.

And a bunch of odds and ends, all ordered or here, and should be here prior to the swap.

Just need to get the fuel system lined out, but I know what I need, and need to get the procharger oil changed, and a few spacers made and misc to install it as well (but that will wait till the engine is in and running.

Tuning adjustments by MoeHorsePower...

Cant wait!


You would think it would be a fairly cheap swap because I have the engine front he camaro and the trans in the impala and they were both Lt1s... but, its not.

Nothings cheap but good to hear that Christmas came early. I'm interested in your fuel cell. I'm sure it's custom but do you know if there's an Fbody model?

Well... here goes nothing.

Dropped off at the customizing shop to pull the front end stuff off, as well as the hood. They will be doing repairs while its next door and we pull the engine.20200102_090456.jpg
