Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

Well talk about a teaser. Right now i'm in an Engines class at SVSU, and our lab Teacher is John Lohone of Thompson Automotive out of Redford michigan.
HAHA thats funny, Nick Richert was just telling me about going down there. I would say swap it bc you have a very unqiue color and like everyone else has said about how cars are not going for that good of money right now.

Swap it if you got the funds patiences tools and space. And i would save up and do the engine once how you want it. stroke it cam it and all that other fun stuff. you don't wanna pull the engine twice. Try to find a l92 out of a escalade or something im not shure if the intake will fit though so i would check on that.
I would go for the rebuild and go LS 1, 2, 3, 6, 7........

Ok well now i have another question, if i go the ls2 route, then would i need to do alot of splicing for the electronics side of things. I mean if i need to rewire the computer the speedo and a bunch of other things i probabaly won't go that route. So if anyone knows how hard it would be to get the ls2 wiring to work that would be very helpful. I am confident in my work and my ability to do the swap, i just would rather not sacrifice reliability by doing a ton of modifications to the wiring throughout the car. When you splice wires your kind of asking for a problem to happen. Well again everybody's help is greatly appreciated and i hope that early next year i will be able to start the swap. Also i know you guys say that the ls1,ls2,ls3 etc are all the same engine essentially, but would the mounting points for a ls2 match up to the mounting points on an ls1 k member. Thanks agian.

sorry ,cant help you w/ the wiring question. but it seams like a good project. and for the powertrain i feel any ls series engine would be cool. we have the ls1 in our boat and i am always so impressed with how smooth it runs and performes.
