Got this long project ahead of me and going to need help and advice. As of now the car is sitting with no motor/trans. Already updated the rear end to disc brakes. V8 cradle is bolted up so I can push the car around. And that's it.

I already have the LT1 donor along with the trans, harness, and computer.
I still need the V8 gauges and fuel pump as I want to run nitrous.



I'll take more pics tonight in the garage how it sits. I'm picking up where a kid left off on this project

 

The only reason I'm thinking of just putting the motor together instead of building it up just yet is because I'm a bit nervous about the swap and just want to get the motor in there and fired up.. Am I on the right track with the parts I need to relax a bit and know it'll all work out haha?? I have the fuel lines and brake lines out of the donor aswell

 

Have a read.

Already read the whole thing and have some of your pics saved! Along with other peoples builds and experiences. Idk why I'm freakin I just need to get it done! I just got it the other day so ill get moving on it

 

Sorry if the pics are huge, ill figure out the computer skills as I go along

 

Anyone recommend a good gasket kit out there??

 

A fel-pro set from a local auto parts store or summit racing will do fine. That's where I got all mine at.

 

Took the seat out so I have more room to figure out how to get to the wires for the engine harness


I'll be working on it in the morning.. I'm gonna have to take the dash apart ain't I? Damnit

 

V8 harness is in and plugged in through the firewall.. the prongs have me a little iffy as to if its just plug n play.. but they did snapp in just fine..

 

Did you pull the motor out of the top?

Edit: Never mind I reread it.
