Thumbs up Another LS1 / FD

Those things will be every where!

Seems a little steep to me.........but it is, virtually brand new.
You will not be disappointed in your choice. It will be interesting to see how long you drive it in basically stock condition, before you get the itch to modify the motor...... these conversions run pretty strong as is.

Hey Drewman, I just took the plunge and bought a 93 FD for this conversion myself. I probably won't get to work on it for a while though...too many projects. Good luck with yours!

PhD in Genetics? I don't know you might not have enough brainpower to pull off one of these swaps. You might have to get a night job stocking at Target to fund this thing.

You're gonna love this thing when you are done with it. Post any questions you have and we'll give you any help we can.

Not the engine year that I wanted, but low mileage and Fparts has a good reputation. The plan is to get it running with this engine, and then build up something a little more wild with a 427 CID stroker with a Darton resleeved block from either MTI or Halltech.

So, my anticipation is finally over, and I can get started. I can hardly wait!

Good luck with the project. I'm should be cranking and possibly driving mine within the week. I'm getting very anxious.

Why not clone yourself? That way you get the work done in half the time. Your clone could probably even get a job and you could double your income!! Think of the possibilities!
