Default '82' ls2 swap in progress

Taking out the tired crossfire injection and installing a fresh ls2. Had the heads done, bigger cam, hoping to get around 450 hp. I'll post the engine and new tranny details later if anyone is interested. Also all new
wiring harness and computer and Dakota Digital Guages going in.

Out with the old.....





Out and getting cleaned and ready for paint...



Ls2 looking good...





Starting the install....



I'll post more info and pics as it progresses.
