Just joined. Great site. I am just finishing up the final sanding for paint. After that, the joy of installing my LT1 in the Camaro. I will probably be asking a few questions about the swap.

Welcome aboard, I have a 68 with a '95 LT1 in as a daily, and a '55 with a 95 and Procharger. If you get stuck, I probably did at the same point so will hopefully know the answer :)

Thanks again for the welcome. Someone was asking if there was a piece of metal I didn' replace. Yes, the cowl piece where the wiper blades are.

A lot of guys running LT1s here... wow. I'm one of the crazy people too, but it isn't in my Nova yet. So yeah, props for the LT1 guys! :cheers:

Rybar,no I did not tub( I wish I did though) I will be able to fit 17X9.5 inch rims in the rear though. By the way, in 1990 I worked at the main UAP/NAPA warehouse in Burnaby (used to be called AUTO MARINE ELECTRIC).

That's pretty cool, so you know my area. Where are you now and why did you leave? BTW I was around 13 years old then, so I was still building model cars lol
