Its almost done. Sorry it has been a while since the last update but I have been busy. Everything is done almost except the exhaust and the replacement of the recently discovered broken radiator. I have been promised the new radiator by Wednesday and hope to fire it up that afternoon.
In the attached photo you can see just a couple of things that I have been doing. First the very simple air intake setup, which some like and some don't (I personally like it) consists of a LT1 1LE package intake elbow, modified mass air, large K&N filter and very simple aluminum bracket. In the back ground you can see my relocated alternator and the mounted computer. The alternator ended up on top, which is fine with me. I took a couple of extra hours to plan and do but saved me a few hundred dollars over the Street and Perf alternative.
Nic, no I did not replace the frame with a chevelle frame, aren't they nearly identical anyways? I did have to use chevelle motor/ frame brackets that mount to the frame.
Robinb, the modified pan and pick up cost about $250 plus sending them my pan as a core. As for the exhaust, I have a set of street and performance headers, and a 2 and 1/2 inch flowmaster system. As for the drive shaft, my new 3.5 inch custum aluminum shaft fits beautifully, sorry I don't have a pic.
Hopefully I will have some finished pics and news by the end of the week.
