I am in the process of gathering parts to install my LY6/4L65E into a 70 Camaro RS. I am in need of a picture of the reverse light switch and neutral safety switch. Bare in mind, I bought this car as a project/basket case, so I have no idea how a Th350/400 reverse/neutral switches look or mount.

Do the switches mount differently on the "horseshoe" shifters (70-73) or any 70-81 F-body switches work?

Nova will be pro-touring type of car driven often, consisting of a carbed ls1 with a victor intake, procharger D1SC, and a Tremec TKO600. Im in the mock up stage with motor, tranny, rear end, etc. My ls1 core is a 98 long block with supposed 18k removed by dealer under warranty because of piston slap. My intentions were to beef up rotating assembly with rod bolts, blower forged pistons, MLS gaskets with head studs, and replace cam and valve springs. But the more I read these forums the 98 block and heads are not very desirable, especially if i need to bore this one. I was also wondering what cam would work well with carb and blower. If i have to replace block I was thinking of a brand new ls1 aluminum block and maybe LS2 heads. I dont know?????? any recomendations??? Also wondering what kind of HP is possible with mild cammed LS1 with stockish heads with blow thru carb with D1 set for 12psi, no intercooler. I definitely want to stick with aluminum block and not go broke on rest of long block. any recomendations please.

I have always heard that putting them in the collector from the 10 - 2 o'clock postion is best....

On my application, it is difficult to get the O2 in the collector (side pipe headers) - so I'm considering mounting in a primary.

This is a 8.1 Vortec using a LS1 computer - 0411 and dbw throttle.

The primary tubes are 2 1/8" on the hooker side pipe headers.

Application on a 69 Corvette...

Hey I thought some of you guys might enjoy some pics of my newest project.

1979 zephyr 2 door box top.

There is some before and some during and some after. All of this work was done in one day and the dash in another.

All torque boxes seams have been welded and braced But I still need to do the subframe connectors/cage and lower battle box kit.













Dash is not done but its coming along,White square is where My boost controller will sit.






Here is some info on what I posted.

33 spline moser lightweight spool
33 spline moser pro series axles with C clip eliminators
5/8 studs
Axle housing welded and checked for straightness
T/A Diff girdle cover
North race cars disk brakes
Team Z relocated upper control arms
Team Z adjustable lower control arms
Strange 10 way adjustable shocks
Competition enginering Anti roll bar.

In my mustang this powertrain went 9.51@147 with a soft 60 foot.

The same powertrain in this car should go 9.30-9.20ish i hope. ]]> tirefryin_s10 http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1206866-twin-turbo-ls-powered-zephyr-stuff-out-my-mustang.html http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1206833-plug-play-l92.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:46:30 GMT does anyone know where to get a stand alone harness for the L92 motor configuration?
