Swapping an LS3 into a 2nd Gen Camaro

Nice car. You make it look easy. Hopenyour dad is enjoying it.

Thanks! Yea weve got it up and driving now. I just need to finish editing the videos!

[@atlurker8037]

I hope you put the straight bumper back on. Please don't make a fake RS unless you change out the whole nose to the correct one with round marker next to the headlights.

[@CarGuyFridays]

Someone noticed the lack of bumper! The straight bumper had rust on it so it's off atm. I admit I've been waffling on buying the splits and an Rs splitter lol. Now I feel called out :)

[@atlurker8037]

@@CarGuyFridays If you don't change the nose out too to an RS and just slap bumperettes on it will look like a cheap split bumper Vega from that era. No bueno.

[@CarGuyFridays]

Making me very anxious! I dont like the big across the front bumper for looks. Any other suggestions?

Ive got a 1980 rally sport that was swapped for a 305, should i spend the money to get air conditioning before the summer or should i get the 350 swap first? Pretty tight on money and it’s my daily driver

[@CarGuyFridays]

I suppose it depends on priorities for you. Would you rather be comfortable or go faster? How hot is it in the summer for you? (South florida for example is an obvious AC!) To me at least, I'd rather be comfortable so I'd go AC first. Going faster is a non ending path because next you'll want a cam, and heads, and and and... you might find you are still hot in the summer :)
