The car looks great. Post up some vids of it idling and dyno pulling.

I plan to make some videos eventually once the temperature comes back up and the salt gets off the roads. If you think the wiring looks bad now, you should have seen what I started with!! It does look kind of scary in that picture actually, but I assure you it is very tidy

Actually I bought them pre-fab from another company, and they are definitely not the quality I would see from AMS. The v-bands are on there because I plan on making a set of side pipes for it eventually!

i failed to mention a buddy of mine just finished up his swap a month or two ago. he had a corvette and wrecked it. took the motor out of it and put it in a '95 240. his biggest problem is getting the car to hook. the motor isn't exactly stock

408 iron block/T56
eagle rotating assembly
243 casting heads stage 3+ and milled
compression 11.85 to 1
255/259 639/639 on 113
fast 90/90

the car traps some damn good numbers(131) on motor. he took the nitrous he had on it, when it was in the vette, off for now. the best 60' he has pulled so far was like a 1.8 and the 1/8th mile is horrible. so, there is definitely room for improvement on the front half.

good luck again

I have the startup vid of the car before he put the exhaust on it. The car overall rocks and will be a blast to drive. I will try to post up the vid tommorow when im at the shop.

Very cool swap! So does the LS1 bolt in with Daft innovations swap kit? Also how much you think the car weighs with the swap?

It pretty much bolts right in. You kind of need to 'massage' the trans tunnel a little but thats about it. Its scary how well it fits actually!! My car has some weight out of it, so it won't be a good barometer, but it should be about 2500 when I'm done maybe

Hey Chris, are you planning on making this a sick daily driver or a drift car?
