1971 Chevelle LS Swap

Another botched job. This car came in with the radiator rubbing the body, it turned out to be a much worse issue than that. After inspecting the vehicle we saw that the engine swap was done completely wrong and unsafe. The customer wanted to address all the issues and have the swap done correctly. This meant we had to remove and re-install everything the previous shop did. The engine was installed “junkyard style” tons of parts were mixed, matched, cut, welded, drilled and even beaten to get the motor to fit.

Thankfully Hooker makes a line of products specifically for this application to allow easy and seamless install.

-Hooker black heart long tube headers

-Hooker full 3″ exhaust

-Hooker engine mounts

-Hooker cross-member

-Custom made 4.5″ intake

-Custom engine ECU wiring

-Custom made coolant lines and aluminum radiator

-Custom made driveshaft

LS6 Fuel Injection motor swap with mild cam
All wires and lines cleanly installed
Custom longtube headers made specifically for the engine/chassis combo. Allows for a perfect fit and pefromance
Previous “custom setup” very restrictive and poorly installed exhaust/headers.
