Again, awesome. Is your 84 a Z51?
My dream car right now is an 84 Z51 slightly lowered with an LS swap and a T56 or a TKX and a Dana 44
Were you able to keep most of the factory gauges?
Are you using the 4+3 pedals and master cylinder?

yes it’s a Z51. It originally was an auto and I sourced the brake and clutch pedals online. Then I installed those which was to bad but still a pain. I upgraded to a Tilton Clutch master cylinder. I am able to use the factory gauges as well.

That's a very impressive swap! I couldn't see the videos after clicking on them unfortunately but I can imagine that car would sound incredible and be mind blowing to drive! Well done!

If you don't mind, how much was the transmission and all that related stuff?
You make use of a factory driveshaft right?
What engine management are you using that is keeping the stock gauges working and running the LS?
In a general sense how does the LS swap compare to a highly built small block?

I am not to sure how to upload a video any other way. It really is a blast to drive. I have been able to get it out a couple of times this winter. Surprisingly it’s been pretty mild up here in Ct and I am fine with that.
