      installing LS in a 69 camaro

      I'm planning to do the swap.
      I have no idea how long can it take to do the swap and have it running.
      I will get all parts needed, modified harness, crossmember, mounting bracket.

      Can you tell me your experiences and roughly how long it took you?
      just to have an idea.

      thanx

      The longest part is going to be getting your fuel system in order followed by the wiring.

      If a guy had everything it wouldn't take any time. I have been buying various parts for mine for the last 3 months. Since the swap has been done quite a bit now, you should be aware of any problems that you may have ahead of time.

      Here are some links to get you started:

      Your question is somewhat, "open ended." There are a number of variables that can determine, "How long it will take." For example, do you have everything you will need to complete the swap? Are you working on this alone? How much time will you devote to completing the swap per day, 1, 2, 8 hours?
      With the right equipment and some help. I would think it could be installed in a single day. Completing all the wiring connections may take a bit longer but most of that time will be spent on deciding where each connection lands and the best route to run the wire.

      I agree with the above, it depends on what you have, your expectations for the installation, and your abilities.

      Mine took about a year, but it's more involved than most and work took away a lot of free time.
