Like the title says; beginning my Chevy swap.

Target HP is 600 rear wheel (easily done)
6.0L LQ4 engine
Precision PT76/75 turbo
80lb injectors
GodSpeed 12x24x3 intercooler
4L80e trans for reliability
Yes, I know the rear end will need upgrades

One owner (old man ) garage kept, gold car with 99k miles

Its very clean.

Thx. I plan to create a build thread but want to get a bit further along with the assembly process. Just dropped a dummy block in the chassis tonight and will fab up urethane motor mounts that are smaller than factory size.

Last car we built was a twin turbo 6.2L in a 69 camaro.

Wired up a 408 stroker ls1 that put 1420hp to the wheels.

So I think the horsepower part will be easy.

My specialty is LSX swap harness, PCM programming ( tuning) and my own fabrication.

 

Welcome to the forum, nice project, yes please make a build thread I think there will be a fair bit of interest in this one!

 

Welcome to the forum aknovaman,

Good to have you with us.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

welcome to the forum - look forward to keeping up with your project

 

Motor is in. Trans mount fabricated. Engine mounts just need final welding. Once those are done. It all comes back apart for final cleaning and assembly.

 

Wow! You don't sit around.

The 69 Camaro LS7 Magnacharger is my favourite. It looks and sounds fantastic.

Those vids are some of my work fro the past 7 yrs. I have done more.

Will start a build thread once motor mounts are done and engine is in for final time.

Next project is a '70 chevelle with new 2014 vette LT1 engine.

 

Started a photobucket album for my swap pics.
