hey guys, i've made a ton of progress on building the lt1, and it should be ready by the first week of march for the swap. I'm planning on using my spring break to drop the old engine, clean up the engine bay, and install the lt1. If i could get some help maybe we could get the car started while ya'll are there. I'm willing to provide food if you want to help.

TIA!
Ethan

here are some pictures of the progress i made the last couple of weekends

Hey Ethan:

Why don't you go and cross post this in the 944 Turbo section as well, there are a lot of guys near MD and VA. They are a great bunch, and I am sure someone would assist you with the swap. Just a thought to help ya.

Sounds like fun, especially if you are buying the beer Bit far of a road trip me so I'll have to pass. Good luck with the build!

for a big ugly lump of iron, it sure is beautiful...lol.

will that stock intake fit under the hood?

that's no stock intake...that's a fully ported 58 mil intake with matched BBK 58 mil throttle body...

i've got one guy who has swapped in an ls1 coming to help hopefully the first weekend i'm home, so if anyone else wants to come shoot me a pm asking for an address and come on over!

Ethan-
Have you worked out the reworking of the brake master cylinder?
I understand that it gets in the way with the LS conversions.

i've got that pretty well figured out, since it will only be light driving for a while, i'm going to take it easy and go with stock brakes and no vacuum booster...hopefully i can get that done next week maybe? I'd like to get the brakes done before the swap

Please take pictures of the swap.
If I ever blow my S2 motor I might seriously look at doing this.
