Still acquiring parts. I just bought a house so it pushed back the completion date to early next year. I bought the engine/transmission mount kit from vorshlag, as well as the driveshaft and transmission. Next is all the electrical, brakes, clutch, fuel system, exhaust manifolds and cats. Engine will be purchased last.

I won't know until mock up. If it works I will switch it out for something better( for off-road track use ) after I get the sticker. |

Oh yeah, your close. I would enjoy checking out your progress when you get rolling. Figuring this swap out for California would be so cool.
Do you know if we need to stick with carb exhaust manifolds and stock cats only. Or do we need to stick with the exact exhaust system to the cats? (Meaning can we modify the exhaust pipes between the manifolds and the cats?) Congrats on the new house. |

It has to all be the stock setup unmodified from the manifolds to the end of the cats for the engine you plan on putting in. Putting on carb approved parts should be legal but they prefer oem parts.
You will have to roll by when I get going on it. I will be posting progress on the swap and how the ref goes. If I can or can't get it done. |

It's going to be a LT4 from GM performance. It would be easier, and cheaper to do a LS3, but I'm looking for highest HP OEM motor I can afford. Almost got the stacks ready to blow on this thing.
