Thanks guys!! Everytime I turn it on and hear the cam lope it just makes me smile, but when I rev it up it just sends shivers down my spine! I freakin love it and can't wait for it to be in the other car so I can drive it!
As for swaping, yeah i'm just gonna put the drivetrain in the 94 and have a LT1 style LS1.2013 Cadillac ATS

i dont know now that i see it i dont think it would be all that bad to do the body work instead.. i was thinking it was creamed in the back its really just the driver side corner thats whacked the worst the passenger side almost looks like its in the original position... if thats the case its not that bad of a fix...
you might need someone that knows more about body work to help you out but that was just about identical to the grand prix i did...
all i had to do was cut on an angle from the pasenger side bumper mount to about the rear 1/4 of the driver side wheel well... then i just took the donor and cut it the same way used the outter quater panels and the trunk to line everything back up... and even though the welds were good i just took a 1/2 inch square pipe and braced it in the front and rear of the trunk... drove it another 150,000 miles without a hitch took about 35 hours of work to get it perfect with me and a budy...
aslong as the rear axle mounts arnt damaged i think it would be cheeper and faster to just cut and paste the rear, only things you need to take out would probably be the tail light wire harness and gas tank... then all you would need is a quick paint job to make it look right
there is alot of expense in doing an engine swap, even if its something simple as a ls1 into an lt1 you gotta re route all the wires for the computer all the fluids need to be changed probably new engine and trans mounts ect...
but it would really depend on how comfortable you are with cutting up the rear of 2 cars and if your cool with a patched in trunk...Originally posted by Frank The TankTook the restrictor plate off to give the Red Dragon a little more juice. But it's not exactly street legal, so keep it on the down low.

Well just to let everyone know I went with swapping everything over to the 94 camaro and just about have the whole interior swapped over.
I have all of the rear suspension, fuel lines, brake lines, interior harness that runs through the engine bay, 01 SS hatch, brake booster, throttle cables, an other little things.
My next step is to start stripping down the engine and putting all of the goodies I have bought so far
. Here is a total peformance list so far.
-LS6 Intake
-P/P TB
-P/P MAF
-PCV Filter
-Custom Heads w/ Comp Cams Dual Springs, Comp Cams Titanium Retainers
-Flow Figures (I/E):
.100: 99.3 / 71.9
.200: 195.3 / 128.6
.300: 243.2 / 173.6
.400: 276.0 / 213.1
.500: 298.3 / 226.3
.600: 315.0 / 239.3
-PatrickG Custom Cam - 230/236 .612”/.607” 110LSA +1 advance
-7.400 Manley Chromemoly Pushrods
-ARP Rod Bolts
-TTS LT Headers with Y-Pipe
-I'm trying to get a SLP Dual/Dual with bullet in intermediate pipe with dual 3" cut-outs
-Walbro 255 lph Pump
-60# Injectors, I plan on running E85, but nobody has really played around with tuning it in the surrounding areas like Speed inc. or Livernois Motorsports. They did say though when it came time to tuning give them a call, so well see.
-3.73s
-G2 Rear Cover
-Two-way Adjustable PHR
-BMR Strut Tower Brace
-Kenny Bell SFCs
-Ebiach Lowering Springs
-LCA Relocation Brackets
-A4 w/ Trans Go Valve Body
-Yank PT4000 TC
I'm hoping to put out awesome numbers once it's all together and tuned!!!
