Re: Andy's 66 Caprice LS Conversion Upgrade
I think this has been posted before, but do you mind giving a ballpark estimate of an LS-conversion (garden variety LS, nothing crazy like an LSA) in a first gen Camaro if you know? Just curious, thanks.

Re: Andy's 66 Caprice LS Conversion Upgrade
I've done several of these conversions a basic conversion involves connect and cruise package. 11k for 430 hp. 2k for aftermarket accessory drive 1k for cooling system upgrade 6-800 for fuel system upgrade 400 for new driveshaft 300 for air induction that's around 15,500 in parts add another 1k for incidentals that's $16,500 roughly. Plus labor to do the switch.
