My 1969 LS-1 is running
Not many people on the Forum know I was doing this. But it is finally running. I installed an LS-1 from my 97 C5 in my 1969 Roadster. Here are a couple of pictures.

Way cool! :yesnod:
Did you put the '69 engine in the '97? Where you just bored one day and decided to swap them for the fun of it? :jester
I wish I had two Vettes. :cry

The perfect mix of late model drive train with early model STYLE! This has long been a favorite theme of mine. One day, I will take a stab at it.
Did you complile a list of helpful tips and tricks during the swap that you can share?
Please post the performance statistics after you get everything dialed in.
(Gas mileage, 0-60, 1/4 mile e.t.)

I wonder what kind of gas mileage you are getting with the LS-1???
What transmission are you using?

Re: My 1969 LS-1 is running (MIKER)
Vette Magazine did a feature photo shoot 1 1/2 weeks ago at Vettes on the Rockies. And I won the Editors choice at Super Chevy Show last weekend in Denver.
I am waiting to get a few more miles on the car before putting it on the Dyno. It gets about 15-16 mpg. So far. 2nd tank in the car now. It has the same cam and heads I put in the C5, it does have the Z06 intake also. And it has 3.70 rear end. The C5 has 3.15 and gets about 18 mpg. :chevy
