Default WOW!!!!!

This morning was awesome. Finally got the LT1 Droped in my Vette and got it running took it for a test spin. :) Just a seat (interior still striped) no pipes :) was lottsa fun... another month or two..

The one thing I am going to redo is cam it and get a lakewood? (going to put the LT4 hot CAM in now that I;ve got all the electrical hell worked out) [.525 lift :) ]

Okay I know the 15000 lakewood's will bolt right up to a muncie, but I've got a Super T10? Do I need the 15060 or will the 15000 work? Keep in mine i've got a 74Vette with a 26input if that matters for length.

The other thing is I've got a 95LT1 out of a Z28? Anyone know what sidepipe kit might work on this? I will probaly have to get a O2 sensor plug put in, but I really want sidepipes.

Did you do the engine and all the hookups, computer and wiring harness to get it running in one day? If so, that's a lot of work!!!.

If not, still, congrats anyway. Pictures are a good thing (hint). :cool:

I don't think hookers would work on your LT-1, but you could probably rig up the stock 69 type side pipes. Did you get the exhaust manifolds with LT-1? Isn't the O2 sensor in the short pipe right out of the exhaust manifold?

heys i will post pictures when its painted and it has more interior than a seat and two working gauges.. :)

and no it took me many many hours to install this engine. I am not the best electrical guy, I bet it took the better part of 50-60 hours of reading, and probaly 30hours of install time to get everthing perfect.
