I've got one, but it's kinda a POS. No lambo doors or train horns, so it's probably not real interesting. And I mostly built it myself so there's no shop to rip on lol

FYI for the 3rd gen guys - I will be building wiring harnesses this summer that will let you run a TPI(or any other port injected SBC) with the 411 LS1 computer. It will make your car OBDII, sequential port injection, all kinds of other benefits to this swap, but the biggest one will be tuning, almost nobody out there does Dyno tuning for PROM based stuff and even if they do its really hit or miss. With this harness the car will be tuned just like an LS1 4th gen.

Camaro spoiler on a Firebird? Nice touch.

Thanks :thumbsup Although for some reason they look small in the pic.

And yes, a Camaro spoiler on the bird. I really didn't like any of the bird spoilers, and none of them seemed to even out the hood like the Z28 spoiler did. Plus at the time I did it the only option for a wrap around spoiler was the GM piece at around $800.

Wait till you see it this year, rims are getting blacked out, tail lightes getting smoked, windows tinted... If it makes you feel any better that pic was taken right after I put the engine back together, before I turned the key, it hasnt been that clean since then, lol.

The headlights are either the normal or silverstars, cant remember. Fogs are the diamond blue but there not on the car anymore, they block to much of the ram air :goof

I'd be interested to learn more about this....hoping to do some TPI tuning this summer to mine, sorry no 3rd gen pics or car here to share though :( ;) . I'm assuming you will run the first of this harness on your car? I am curious to see how it goes.

Awww Mikey cmon.....the cutty is gonna be out this year too and I'll give ya some land ;)

The iroc needs some tlc before I race ya this year, it's been sitting for a while now. Hell the plugs and wires are 10 years old I believe...not even kidding either. First thing on my "to do" list for that is the tune up, even though I'm sure it'll get romped by ur purple beast:wow

how much do you think those harnesses will end up costing?

I like them the way they are but the clear is pealing now in a bunch of spots. I was going to polish them but decided black and gold would look pretty slick, probably polish the lip though, not sure yet.

Well its a little more than just a harness. This is basicaly a hybrid setup that uses alot of the parts from the vortec 350 in trucks/vans from 96-00. In 01 the chevy express van with the vortec 350 had the 411 computer so thats the cal file you start with, and because that van was offered in a 1 ton, you can set it up to run either the 4L60e or the 4L80e (but not both, have to pic one)

Cheep way to do it:
Find a 01 chevy express van in the junk yard and take the following parts:
-Complete wiring harness
-Distributor(or cam sensor, its alot like the opti spark but not as problematic)
-Timing cover (its plastic be careful it doesnt break)
-Reluctor wheel (its under the timing cover infront of the crank gear)
-Harmonic balancer (you can use the one you have if you machine down the snout the thicknes of the reluctor wheel)

My way to do it:
-Build a new harness that has only the stuff I need in it
-Accel Billet Distributor (only after market vortec distributor, after you break a few stockers you realize why I want this one)
-Comp Aluminum Timing cover, modified with a threaded hole for the crank sensor.
-Stock reluctor wheel
-ATI blancer cut down to the correct length.

I suppose I should just start a new thread about this so it doesn't crap this one up but at the same time, this is probably only of interest to people in here. As far as Cost I have no idea, There is a guy selling this already and I think hes getting about $200-$400 depending on what you all need.
