I got a new camera. Pretty sweet deal too. 10 mega pixel. I also decided to do a "real time" update cuz of my current sweet setup! Not only can I listen to my itunes I can post! Here's the setup, some pics with the cam, my heat blanket template, and some old pics of the Hydroboost drawings in case anyone is interested in getting the PDF in the future. 4 pages including a how to build page.

What did you use to clean the engine bay/underbody? Did you repaint it? Looks awesome!!

Dishwashing soap, an electric toothbrush, a lot of time, and then repainted everything...

Great swap man, keep it up!!! Ls1 makes any car a fricking monster (in a good way) :)

Yes, because the SOHC 12v inline 6 from the 70's is such an amazing machine!

LOL!

GM's way to save gas, and to advoid the gas guzzler tax. My Firebird did have it, but not no more. And to the OP, i may of asked you this before? But are you going to do anything to the motor like a cam or something?

Eventually. We're going to get it running first and save some money up and then get to the engine upgrades. Next summer probably. If we do that though we're going to think about re-doing the rear end and possibly adding a roll cage/substantial chassis stiffening. At the very least the 5 bolt conversion. Eventually hopefully it will be supercharged.... that's the long term goal
