Okay so as you saw in the other thread I just bought 2000 z28 with an LS1 in it. I got a great deal on it & just bought the whole car. Since it is a driving car I am going ot get everything else ready to go before I pull it. Question is what things should I consider doing to my car? I allready have a 5-lug converison done with 944 turbo Brembo's up front.
My chassis is solid but should I consider adding a cage? Is it needed? What transmission should I use? I know the 901 can handle it with 1st bypassed. I'd really like to do a Boxters S 6 speed transmission. If I have to spend money getting an adapter plate. Why not upgrade my tranny also? For an engine mount did anyone make a cradle? Or did you just do a bar setup like stock but setup for the LS1 motor mounts? I'd like to keep the a/c. What would I need to make that work in my 914? While everyone is welcome to put there 2cents in. I'd really like to hear from all the guys who have done the LS1 conversion. Do you run the stock water pump or something else? I added a pic of my car as it currently sits. I will be painting it also (or Jerry Mahoney will) at some point. Leaning towards Phoenix red Attached thumbnail(s)
