Well here is my first official project thread! I just bought a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 M6 from a guy in North Carolina and it is on it’s way up here on a carrier. The car has quite a few mods which I’ll name later. The car is red and absolutely beautiful, the only down fall is it has a spun rod bearing. Which isn’t much of a down fall since I have a nice low L92 short block and brand new L92 heads sitting in the back garage! 
I’m basically going to be following the article in GMHTP. My plan is to have this all done and tuned up for the M&G so wish me luck. I am going to be taking a few of the parts off the LS1 that are interchangeable and then I’m selling the rest. So if anyone wants to get any dibs on the parts I am going to be giving some pretty good deals since I need to the money to finish the project! Anyways onto mods and pictures!

Parts List for swap: I will be converting the L92 to a LS3 because I want to keep the stock functionality but will keep the VVT stuff for later.
L92 Short Block - Have
L92 Heads Full Assembled with Rockers - Have
L76 Intake and Fuel Rail - Have
42 lb LS7 Injectors with Adaptors - Have
Fast 90 Throttle Body - Have
85mm Truck MAF - Have
LS3 Intake Valves - Need
LS3 Timing Cover - Need
LS3 Cam Gear - Coming
LS3 Timing Chain Dampener - Coming

For the cam I am planning around 480-500 RWHP cam only so I’ve been looking at the on using the LG Motorsports G6X3 which has made 501 RWHP cam only plus bolt-ons or the Vengeance Racing LS3 II Cam which make 480-485 RWHP cam only with bolt-ons. Not set on either but that’s the ball park. I’ll probably clean up the ports a little too on the heads.
As far as looks go I think I’m going to paint the engine bay a gloss black and also paint the sail panel of the car gloss black for now. I might do the CETA Mod.
Anyways her are some pics of the car, I‘ll get better ones when it‘s here. Also I’ll get pics of parts up as they show up.
NOTE: If any of the sponsors want to help me out on some of the parts needed that would be greatly appreciated!
