Haha Nope its still and LT1 but itll be controled by an LS1 PCM Crank/cam sensor and coils! itll be more of an LS1 than some 98's!

dood those blue and pink motor plates R awesome! you cant decide if they will be a boy or a girl

naw looks good man

UPDATE! Ive been busy ordering more parts and I recieved the Motor plate from AEI on wends so Ive been mocking that up!

Parts ordered
EFI connection LSx crank and cam sensors and brackets
12 curcuit EZ wiring harness (completely ditched ALL the factory wiring)
ACR Flat touch digital switch panel (google videos of it! its friggin badass!)
ALL AN fittings and hose for the fuel system.
Super sweet carbon fiber valve covers!
AN Fittings and hose for the breather tank and coolant over flow.
CSR Electric LT1 Water pump.
Acura Legend Alternator, (its much smaller than factory GM alternators and should fit perfectly down low on the pass side of the motor plate)

Heres the mock up pics and one of the valve covers I know the aluminum look isnt as good as the blue and pink but its the best they could do....

Looks F'ing sweet!, That Switch panel looks cool as hell

Got the coils mounted, used half of the truck coil bracketry added a couple ear and welded it all together so that while its under the dash each bank points toward its appropriate side.

Made some more progress and ordered more parts. I welded in the motor plate bracketry and got the plate permanatley mounted. I also worked in a GTO automatic belt tensioner! I cut out the frame notch for the alternator. Still have to mount the alternator but the location is set just have to weld in the brackets. Welded up the water pump drive hole in the timing cover, painted it and the EFI connection cam sensor setup, got the whole kit installed and ALMOST forgot to cut down the cam dowl pin!

I also welded up some holes and added a AN bung to the intake manifold. can you tell what holes got filled on the intake? Its nothing major but it was an eye sore before and now for the first time EVER I actually like the way the LT1 intake looks I also welded AN bungs to the fuel rails.

Also notched the frame on the driver side to make room for the -10 AN drain line from the turbo.

I know its not a TON of progress but ive been trying to hit it for a couple hours 3-4 days a week and its starting to finnally take some shape...
