Back in F-Bodyland!
 
Yup. Got me a new F-Body :D It's an '81 Camaro that's one of Melissa's. It's a little rough right now, but it's going to be an LSX/T-56 land missile hopefully before next August. Here's some pics;

it looks rough because the paint is faded, but look how solid the quarters are. i bought the car for an ls1/t56 swap, lsx is even better :)

Good luck with the project.

Quick question, isn't LSx just any LS motor, but LSX is an actually crate engine? Always semi-confused on that.

Thats how I interpret it, and the LSX is the block, not a complete crate motor.

bubba428 09-02-2008 12:45 PM

the LSX is a 454 :drool:

Mike 09-02-2008 12:58 PM

the LSX block can be a lot of different displacements

niiiice!!!!!

yea, I'm throwing around the idea of the LSX block, Warlock heads (hybrid LS-7 and C5-R), and maybe a twin turbo setup, screwcharger, or Kinsler EFI injection system.
