Thanks to my robbery I had to start over on my swap and looking back and looking at his pictures, I am glad I got robbed because my engine bay is so clean now compared to before nad his.
EDIT: Did you ever even mount your motor? If I remember right you have been emailing/PMing questions about my swap. You didn't seem like you had even remotely started your swap, much less completed it. I would love to see pictures from a fellow LS1/FB

I would love to see your engine bay for some inspiration. I haven't started cleaning mine up. I wanted to get the Corvette engine/valve covers, but I don't really want to advertise anything as "Corvette" since it's not technically a Corvette derived LS, and the car isn't a Vette. Idk, just a pet-peeve of mine. Maybe I'll get the covers and fill in the "corvette".

Have you weighed your car? Should be lighter than mine. Mine (unfortunately) started out as a GSL-SE.

I literally just got it running and snapped a few pics. There's definitely a lot left to finalize/clean up on my car. If I had to do it again, I would definitely do a few things different. But she runs, and runs hard, and that's all that matters for me right now!

How do you hook up with the 255's? Even with my 295's all of 1st gear is useless, 3/4 of 2nd gear is useless, and by the time I hook up in 3rd gear the thing is pulling like a freight train!

If anybody has anything specifically they would like pictures of, or questions about, let me know. I didn't know this thread was even receiving any replies. I don't think the "notification" feature is working correctly, otherwise I would have replied back sooner.
