[Z Code 400]

Thanks, Andrew.....

I would still have a lot of logistics to work out if I was to do that swap. My buddy will donate the engine to me if I want it. We trade all the time, so getting the motor would be no big deal. I would have to work out clutch linkage, gearbox, headers, steering shaft, etc., and I wouldn't be in a big hurry to do the swap.

I also saw an article where some guy was drilling the crank with a hand drill to use a distributor. That really looked like a poor idea to me. Keeping the DIS and Coil on Plug setup would be much better, IMHO.

I am giving the idea some thought, but I am not 100% sold on doing the swap just yet. I would have a bunch of things to sort out on paper before I commit to it, but your installation and light weight approach appeals to me. I would love to take some weight off the Firebird's front end like you did.

Ideally, I would want an engine driven fan, a carburetor (Q-Jet would be tough on the current aftermarket LS1 intakes to be sure) Question though...Can the knock sensors be retained with that MSD system??? I would think they would be critical with the engine's high SCR. Comments???
