Default Time for the next phase, LS7 swap
12-17 Updated pics in post #9

The new engine (675 hp FI LS7) should be ready in the next week so it was time to drop the goat at ECS (East Coast Supercharging) for the install and fab work.

Wilwood disc brakes (6 piston front/ 4 piston rear) and full suspension upgrade from QA1 (level 2) installed a few months back.

By the time I got back from dropping her off, I got an email from Chris showing the old motor being removed.

Monday they'll be starting to order the extras needed to make it all work.

engine/trans mounts
transmission (T56 Magnum build)
clutch (Mantic dual disc)
rear diff (Ford 9" likely)
water pump (Meziere electric)
radiator (still researching)
headers (Kooks or ARH)
A/C (Vintage Air)

Stoked for the Spring
Scott

Sad to see an old goat motor setting forlorn like that, but I can't blame you for the upgrade.....
