Would you change your name after a heart transplant?

I'm pretty sure anyone that has a successful heart transplant would just feel lucky to be alive.....

It is truely sick Noah.

it'll soiund better than an F-body. The f-bidy cars are pretty relegated to running a single exhaust. 90 degree V8s sound so much better with an h or x pipe and full dual exhaust.

To OP ---Do you relize that there are companies that manufacture Exact replicas of engines, complete with bolt holes that are made out of heavy plastics to be used as mock ups, until you are ready for the real thing.

Only weigh a few LBs and complete with bolt holes for brackets and motor mounts

Wow. That swap is very clean. I agree the covers need to go, I mean sporting a LS engine is one thing, but GTO logos as well?!? Congrats, though, this is very nice.

That much power and torque will be put to the ground no problem with some 30 series tires lmao. I hope you got some serious wheels for this set up or its going to be a lot like a rainy day every day.

The valve covers aren't permanent.. IIRC thats the motor Hinson uses to test fit when doing the swaps. He mentioned something about it in the original thread when he posted the 1st cpl pix.

His LSX goes in after SEMA. The motor is so new people dropped the ball getting him the parts he needed.

Well guys I am flying out to Vegas at the crack of dawn on Sunday to see and drive her for the first time. I have my work cut out for me as I have to secure the front bumper, screw in the side skirts and apply close to 40 vinyls...but the second I start it up and take a trip around the parking lot I am sure I will have a smile like a fat kid at a cake convention....I will post up some pictures and my initial impressions...but if it drives anyway near as good as it looks...i bet I am in for a surprise....and WOW Brian....i mean that seriously looks like it is stock....you do amazing work...
