Everytime i see people out they ask me what i’m up to, where i’ve been, wheres the car well heres a sneak peak. Bottom line my 383 combo last year was hella fast and fun, but i got bored, wanted something not so directed tward drag racing, more custom, one off, something to set me apart. I dislike alot of things about 3rd gen Fbody’s so i’m out to make the ultra cool version that was never produce. So this is what i got so far: First the motor/tranny: LSX motor, w/ 6spd, should be alot more fun, more reliable, driveable, and of course fast, all paired up with t56 out of an 01 SS camaro. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/orangeiroc/IROCLS1004.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/orangeiroc/IROCLS1004.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/orangeiroc/IROCLS1005.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/orangeiroc/IROCLS1005.jpg) Next the interior: I hate the 3rd gen interiors, it just screams ‘old mullet’, I like 4th gen Fbodys but i wouldnt wanna work on them, i dont like how half of everything is under the windshield just a pita IMO. So i took the good features and adapted them to my ride. This is what i will end up with… Old Interior : ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/orangeiroc/Picture363.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/orangeiroc/Picture363.jpg) New Interior : ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/orangeiroc/Picture008.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/orangeiroc/Picture008.jpg) Lemme no what ya think, still more to come soon 😉 Mike ---

I have to admit, the 4th gen interiors are soooooooo much nicer looking than the 3rd gen. Was it a pain to wire? I’m unfamiliar with LS1\>\>\>3rd gen swaps. ---

WOW! All I hear is how the 4th gen Dash/door panels are a giant pain in the ass to install. Not to mention getting everything lined up and clean looking. I can tell you put a lot of time and effort in. Looks like it could have came factory like that. Good job! I actually like my stock interior. Even the square dash, heh. Guess I’m just a wierdo. 😛 ---
