ORIGINAL: SpecterGT260

he swapped an lt1 into that vette?
I'm not sure what he did. It says "LT-1 350" on the hood. I see your point though, they didn't offer LT-1 that year. I'll ask him later

actually, i did some reading. they had a 350 lt1 since the 70's, but it was not the same lt1 that is in the C4. it was rated 375hp or at least thats what wiki said.....

Welcome. Thats a nice looking Camaro. That Vette looks like my dads 79'.

EDIT: I meant to edit this and not quote it.

Everythings good except - When I'm under the car I can grab the driveshaft andwiggle it around - it's loose. There's a lot of play there. And (while driving) when I put it in gear and let out the clutch, Ihear a clunk under the front end, down by the transmission. The driveshaft appears to be loose at the area where it goes into the transmission? Anyone know this one? Should I take out the driveshaft and put in back in, maybe with new u-joints, and if that doesn't work then I'll get a transmission rebuild... it seems to only clunk in gears 1,2, and 3... 4th gear is 1:1 ratio and does not clunk

But that loose driveshaft sure seems wrong... anyone familiar with this kind of issue?
