Title: 79 sport coupe
Post by: larrym on July 17 2016, 11:01:16 AM: I realize some will not like it as much but it's still a very nice car my buddy just finished doing the swap for the owner it's a NA 6L LY6 turbo 350 and a GN 8.5
Ryan does really nice work and this is the 4th LS conversion he has done.
My only problem is they are all have carbs no EFI 😆

I'm with you on that Brad there was no room the Holley kit sets the motor back to far and had he moved it forward the the power steering pump would have not cleared the steering box. It moves out pretty good trying to get him to bring it to the track to see what it will run.

It's a true sport coup even has the power gauge on the dash next time I get a chance I will shoot some pics of the interior.
