LS1 Start up
Here is the start up of my LS1. The '68 frame is stripped of everything. After I fab up the tranny crossmember and driveline, I will remove the power plant and start getting the frame ready for paint.

Dan - Put your wifes blender on top of it and have her come out to the garage. Start it up and then turn on the blender. Then just stare with a proud look and wait for a reaction.
Pat - Sleep is over rated, get to work. At least you don't have Scooter70 emailing you everyday that he is going to start his before you.

Congrats Dan.

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Pat does have an infant at home so I guess he could use that as an excuse. I know that with mine, I barely get any time to go work on the car. The rear end has been out of it for weeks now and I haven't had a chance to get the seals changed and get it back in the car.

That is going to be a cool ride when you get it done. All of the LS conversions are giving me the itch. I still have a lot of other priorities just yet, but one of these days, look out. I may just jump in there.

Jeff, It's around 2' length of open pipe. I think I'll put cut-outs for when I race. I might go with side pipes.
Pat, I'm going with a 4L60E tranny. I might switch to a 6 spd later.
Thanks,
Dan
