Hi guys,wana say thanks too all the great post on this forum and all that i have learned here from reading all of the camaro swap post.i bought my 1968 camaro this past summer.the car was re done three years ago,everything is pretty much new on the car.it had 1600 miles since the rebuild!when i bought the car i had the vision of putting in a ls1 or ls6!.it currently has a 383 with edelbrockperformer heads and a t10 4 speed. it has around 500hp.the guy i bought the car from did an awsome job on the car!!its like a new car,pretty much replaced everything!over the christmas holiday i started to pull the engine and get ready for the swap.

Hate the wide back wheels,got to go!!

here are some pics from over christmas when i pulled the engine!

here is the b cool radiator that i may try and re use for the ls1.

i bought a 1997 ls1 from a corvette,the motor is suppose to have low to no miles on it!since the motor was the older ls1 i wanted to upgrade some stuff on the motor,called up texas speed and decided on there 243 stage 2 ported heads and a 228r cam!im also going with a ported oil pump,ls2 timing chain and a stock ls6 intake.my goal was to to get more power,but dont want to kill gas mileage,want to drive and enjoy the car!

i went with street and performance motor mount plates,there modded oil pan,and 4l60e cross member.love there stuff,but damn expensive...
