thetal1's 95 383 ls1 build
 

ive been busy for a little while now collecting tons of stuff for my project.
Whats my project you say?
if you cant read my sig im putting an ls1 into my 95 camaro.
NOW before the bashing, flaming, ect ive done my research and have a group of people who have either performed this swap or have knowledge of swapping motors.
The list of parts i have now are like this

Engine
LS1 (out of a ws6)
5 over Bore and 4" stroke
-3 cc pistons (went -3 cuz if i wanted to fo forced induction all i would have to do is put on stock heads and that would drop me down to 10.3???)
Ported polished 5.3 heads (compression is 11.1)
Custom cam (specs 234 240 112+4)
Underdrive pully
Melling high flow oil pump
190 amp alternator
5.3 heads ported poshished with dual springs and larger valves
ls7 roller lifters
ls6 intake

Tranny
T56 (texas drivetrain performance stg.2)
complete Monster clutch stg3 with lightweight flywheel
Pro 5.0 shifter
Tick Perf. adjustable master

Misc.

Complete ls wire harnesses (engine/tranny, interior, ect.)
Ls knuckles, brake calipers, rotors.
Ls fueltank and radiator.
Ls computer (obd2)
Bilstein shocks and stock springs (supposedly stock springs are good for weight transfer when drag racing)
Ls ebony center consol and dash.

Whats NOT left to buy (UPDATED 11-28-11)
Racetronix 42lb./ hr. injectors.
Rack and pinion
Poly. engine mounts

now on to the good stuff pictures
engine when i got and the heads i have

this is the short list of pics i have but basically its the engine after milling and short block. Tube k-member, control arms, tranny, monsterclutch

sweet man. make sure you keep us updated. you should also do a write up on what is needed for the swap and for what needs to be done electrical wise. looks like a fun project.

yeah the electrical isnt that bad depending on what way you wanna go also what vehicle you have. basically its either mod your wire harness swap the wire harnesses (what im doing) or buy a harness that controls the engine independently.

this should be interesting. we want lots of picutures,,, moved to project section, would you like the title changed?

I don't subscribe to many thread but if this turns into a build thread I am all in :).

Yeah can you change it to 95 383 ls1

well my car is being a pain in the arse so now i need to put my project on ff so i can get my car on the road running again. :icon_pala:

bummer. keep us informed bud.

i got my injectors today

should get the job done and then some ;)
now all i need are
headers y pipe
bell housing
fuel pump
rack and pinion
and high flow waterpump.

the guy who is helping me has to do a stall swap on someones 2001 camaro so I'm pretty much just waiting on him to do that so i can get the car torn apart.
