I will be swapping the ls1, T56, and moser 9" out of my 98 Z28 into the retro 89 Z28. I have no pics right now, but I will soon. All I can say is I can't wait. Oh and I will be on here a lot I believe to get tips and advice.

1997 Mazda Miata

Motor, tranny and rear are complete. Motor is in a 99 z28 along with the tranny. Trying to finish gathering the parts needed for the swap. Will post pics mid spring.
Conversion vehicle: 1975 Toyota Land Cruiser
Engine of choice: began with LS1, ended up with 2003 LQ4 (6.0) mated
to a NV4500 5 speed.
I have decided to convert my fuel injected 1975 Land Cruiser six cylinder to a GEN III V8. I am in the beginning stages and have gathered the majority of the important stuff such as engine, trans, transfer case, flywheel, clutch, engine mounts, bellhousing and radiator.
I have contacted Speed Scene Wiring in regard to reprogramming the ECM.
I have just ordered my LS1 / T-56 from Oklahoma. Should be up here in the north in 6-8 weeks.
My conversion plans:
The car I have is a Opel Manta B, 1977 model. This is a german car. Equipped with a 1.9 litre engine standard. My car has been rebuilt and is looking like a Manta 400 (rally version) and also equipped with a Rover 3.5 litre V8 and a 5 gear manual tranny. But this is a rather lazy engine, and rebuilding and tuning this engine will be very expensive. Thats why I'm going for a LS1 package.
1960 Corvette, SRIII frame 2003 Corvette LS1 motor,
2000 Camaro SS T56 6-speed trans., GTS Customs flared rear fenders,
Power brakes, Power steering, BeCool rad. I've got some photos
at my web site under "1960 Corvette" on left of page.

I have a '41 Canadian Dodge (same body as the '41 U.S. Plymouth) that I got on the road last April. It had an older sbc with a T10. Needing an overdrive, and wanting fuel injection, I am now in the process of putting in an LS1/T56 from a 2001 Trans Am.
Wondering what to do about headers - the car has a 2nd gen subframe. From the threads I've found and read it seems there is no clear answer yet for this besides custom build.
car - 72 Nova
engine- 5.3L, ported 6.0L heads, LS1 intake. GT-45 single turbo all custom made by myself.
TH-350 / SSF3500 9" 3.50 gears. 4-link chassis mini tubbed.
Extra notes:
-rebuildable clutch style LSD rear end from 1987 RX7 Turbo-2
-aluminum driveshaft from WS6 Camaro, modified to fit
-reprogrammed LS1 PCM (no VATS, remove emissions, raise redline, etc.)
-weight after swap is under 2700 pounds with full interior!
-no modificaton to hood is needed = total sleeper!
