Sounds great Eddie! I just did a similar conversion of an LS1 into a 1970 GTO. Not easy. But I'm thrilled and can't wait to get it on the road. Did a couple of road tests got out a couple of bugs. So smooth. I also did a frame off so I'm still getting alot together. Looks like your ready for the road. Good luck Jim
That is sweet!
Any chance you might bring her to the Fest this year? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see it in person.

Nice, what trans do you have in there? Do you have A/C?
It has a Keisler 5 speed in it. Works real well right now. This is the second motor the trans has been behind. Right now, I do not have AC. I may work around to putting it in there though sometime. It would be nice during the summer at times.

Wow Jim and Eddie......
We need to gather all these 1970 LS conversions together sometime....this year's Fest in BG would be very cool!!!
I'm still in process on my rotisserie Camaro with a LS insert, but we just fired her Friday. Next week she goes in the paint booth.
Eddie,
Your car sounds real nice and looks good to go with it.
Nice job!!

Hey Mike, Had her out today for about thirty miles and she's purring. I couldn't imagine doing the Makers Mark run, or WART run w/ the GTO though!!! If I swing it this year I'll be in the Z!! Good luck w/ the Camaro and make sure they tape everything off well. I'm still cleaning my frame off and lots off other stuff too. Good job but they killed me otherwise!!
I have done everything on the car except paint. My wife did not want the smell in the house. I have rebuilt the rear suspesion, front suspension, rebuilt the stock motor, installed a 5 speed, rack and pinion, recovered the seats in leather, installed a new stayfast top, carpet, installed the LS. The hardest part to me so far has to be the tuning of the LS motor. If I could have been smart enough to just leave it stock and well enough alone, I would be gold. I had to have a cam, ported throttle body, ported MAF, headers etc. I am working on the tune though and will figure it out too.
