did you buy and scrap out a non wrecked camaro?  lol

[MeFryRice]

I see you money must be burning a hole in your pockets. Lol. Look forward to seeing how the car turns out.

I think that was directed to the OP but I feel the pain.  1.23 X the price of the car for a hot rod part.  A part.  For a bimmer??? 

Okay, now let's put this in perspective.  I paid $900 for a perfectly running FC3S and I must admit I've got probably well over ten grand in it and I want to sell it for half of that.  Go figure.

Nice pictures.  Especially of the Montego Blue RX-7.  Reminded me of my swap when I got my MB Roller back in 2008.

Do post more pictures of your work.

[uummm]

This thread makes me lol, in a good way though.  Nice car(s).  I find it hilarious that you bought a running/driving f-body just for the drivetrain.  A lot of people around where I'm at would cry about what you did lol.  Anyways, I'm interested in seeing how your project turns out.  What are your plans with the other two fd's?  I read above your selling one after the interior swap, just guess I'm curious why you got the other.

i sold my black fd (after i swap all the black interior) 
i am going to need LOTS OF HELP trying to wire this thing
and since i have no idea what im doing lol im a honda guy , i know nada about lsx
what clutch you guys recomend for the set up?
CMC?
or would you guys use the auto tranny that came out off the camaro swap for the fd? ls3 or l99 whatever it is
i text my friend telling him that i got a ls3 and he told me it wasnt a ls3 im confuse

[ALLslowNOshow]

The L99 came in the auto Camaros, and the LS3 came in the manuals. There's a few differences between them. One thing I know is the L99 came with solid stem intake valves, while the LS3 came with hollow stem intake valves.

[SSjon]

All the L99 also came with Active Fuel Management, or Displacement on Demand. They have 4 lifters that disable the intake valve from opening. These have been blamed for oil consumption, and some people swap them out for regular lifters along with the valley plate.
