I'm listing this car for a friend. If you have any questions or

The car is located in Sacramento. CA

This 69 Camaro has been transplanted with a Computer Controlled Fuel Injected LS1 engine from a 2002 Trans Am LS1 with apporimately 39k miles. It has a 6-speed t-56 manual transmission. This is a great running 69. The car behaves like a modern car. starts on first turn in cold weather. has great gas mileage. more power through the entire rev cycle. never overheats. no changes in performance due to altitude. I read once. it is like having a mechanic under the hood constantly tuning your car for the current conditions".

Of course most of you already have modern cars controlled by computers and take these conveniences for granted as did I until I bought my first classic car. Since I started driving in the 70's. it all started coming back to me when I drove my first 60's car in 30 years.

I like this setup so much that I recreated it in my favorite 69 Camaro Convertible. This is the reason I'm selling the car. It gets over 20 mpg and can go 0-60 as fast as a Vette.

Swap Details:
The conversion was performed by the previous owner. He updated the front suspension with Rack and Pinion steering which I also replaced it with a brand new unit due to a leaky rack. The 12 bolt rear end is beefed up with 4. 11 gears. The LS1 is controlled through the stock computer which has been has been programmed. The gas tank is new and has a New In-Tank Fuel Pump and I added a sump system to prevent gas starvation. New body parts include Floor Pan. Trunk. Doors. Quarter Panel. and Back Panel.

You will recognize the value of this classic car the moment you see it. drive it and watch the countless looks and hear the compliments everywhere you go.
This wise investment is one that will continue to increase in value every year.

Below all the pictures is a brief description of the additional steps needed to swap an LS1 in a classic car to help you better appreciate the selling price.

As described in the articles below and as I found out on the convertible swap. there are many new parts. fabrication. and hundreds of man hours to complete this task. It is nothing like swapping a straight 6 for a V-8.

Here's a summary of the additional steps needed to swap an LS1 in a classic car.

1. New motor mounts or adapters for your current motor mounts
2. New wiring harness for all the new electronics ($800)
3. New oil pan or notched oil pan to clear cross member.
4. New accessory brackets and accessories (water pump. starter. power steering and alternator brackets.
. then fab an A/C compressor bracket. New Serpentine Belt. ($1000)
5. New radiator and electric fans controlled by computer
6. Shorten drive shaft if using computer controller transmission. New trans dip stick.
7. New or modified transmission mounts
8. New or modified fuel tank
9. New electronic fuel pump (in tank is best but requires modification) and Fuel Filter
10. Return fuel line.
11. New custom headers ($650). exhaust pipes and muffler
12. New gas pedal to work with computer system
13. Modify shifter if using automatic from 3 speed to 4 speed or purchase after market shifter
14. Relocate transmission condenser and cooling lines.
15. New air filter setup to work with LS1 intake.
16. New O2 sensors for the exhaust.
17. New Speedometer Control Unit (analogue to digital)_tci-377300

and then the most important. Find an LS motor and transmission.
LS1s complete with accessories and computer can be picked up for $5. 00-$7. 00

Having said that. IT'S WORTH IT BUT NOT CHEAP.
