ls1 in a 67 camaro

[FOXROD]

How hard and what would it cost to put a ls1 in my 67 camaro ragtop with a automatic trans. I don't want to butcher it.

Thanks

Thats "the thing" to do to the older cars now....restomod them. I couldnt imagine it would be too hard, since more and more are coming out everywhere. The deciding factor would be your budget. I'm sure you could buy everything in a KIT to do it....but that is $$$. If you wanna fab things yourself and save some coin, I'm sure its doable for anyone with fab skills and creativity. I know you can get a nice 5.3 or 6.0 with a 4L60e tranny for pretty cheap, the fun part will be deciding how you're getting it in there! Wish I had more to say, but that's all I know is that it IS doable, and it must not be too too hard since I am seeing alot of those swaps now.

That would be sweet in a 67 camaro, I'd love to put a ls1 in my 55 Chevy

I'm pretty sure there is a few on LS1tech. Check out the hybrid section.

[89RABIDFOX]

appreciate the help. I'll check out LS1 tech

I know in all the Super Chevy issues now......just about every issue has a 1st gen with an LS motah.

[FOXROD]

Yea ,I thought about it for the gas mileage and the power. It would be cool,but I'll probably just rebuild the 350 i have. I'll have to buy a couple of rods. some of them didn't want to seperate and they spread when I took it apart. I'll also have to put a posi unit in the rear . It still has then single in it.

Damn thats a low blow LOL :off topic:

[The EnforceR]

Not as low as the bus's trap speed







Haha sry I had to.....I can't talk tho, I only do car shows. As others say, I keed, I keed.

[martys06gt]

Yup the bus is all show and no go, I'm ready for warmer weather to start car shows

put an LT1 in it. easier, cheaper, and it will run better.

talk to chris harris at deans tire, or just ride up there. he did the swap in his 68 a couple weeks ago and its up and running. go check it out an im sure he will fill u full of info

[The EnforceR]

Jay, that's that purple one that had the big block in it right?

[01BlackBird]

yes it is. the big block is now in there 70 chevelle ss and the 68 camaro is sportin an ls1 and 4l60e for more drivability

[The EnforceR]

Nice....I think I remember him telling me that he pretty much built that car himself, all while in high school.

[01BlackBird]

yep he built it from the ground up in highschool

put a 6.0/4l80 in my 71 truck and it was a breeze
same with my brothers multiple vehicles.
he has a 68 P/U
had a jeep with a 5.3/T400
several others with jeeps have 5.3s or 6.0s and all kinds of trans.
1 has a 700R4, the other has a FORD manual 4spd with it, several TH350 or 400s

its real simple actually....

talk to bj and justin they put a ls1 in an old le mans

[sabastian458]

put both a ls6 and a LQ9 in a 68 camaro, and a LQ4 in a mid 80's C10. Fairly easy to do IMO.
