66 Project (Pro Driver?)
In 1997 I bought a 67 convertible to use as my daily driver. Sold my Ford Ranger and went full Chevelle. In early 98 I came across an almost new but wrecked 1998 Camaro with an LS1-4L60e and without even thinking I bought it and started the swap.
At that time there were zero parts available for this swap. I would call people and they would say it couldn’t be done. I knew it could because a saw a 55 Chevy in a magazine that had an LS1 and then saw an early Impala bubble top with one at a Goodguys show. It took me about 8 months to get it done but everything worked great. I drove that car almost 100k over the next 5 years. I sold it in 2004. So when I got the itch again, I decided to do a 66 and go for max mpg. I started looking around for an engine and again found an almost new Camaro (2013) with a 3.6 liter V6 and a 6 speed auto. The project was on. Here are a few pics of the beginning. Out with the old engine/trans. The new engine as it arrived. First attempt at fitting it in. Last edited by 67-ls1; 12-14-2023 at 08:28 PM.
