Lake of the Ozarks. You can see my 94 Z28 that I did a 98-up conversion on my site. It's project budget Z. http://www.aldersgarage.20m.com

i like the 93-97 front end when it has a ram air hood to compliment it. The 98-up front end looks much better b/c it has a lot more detail to it and isn't plain like the earlier models. nice upgrade.

btw, why did you do the conversion besides the obvious appearance difference? most people do it b/c they were in an accident.

Well, I am taking the engine from the 01 TA and putting it in a 56 Chevy for a guy locally. In exchange for the front clip, I'm putting the engine in, building him a custom harness, and reprogramming the PCM for him. I figured it was a good deal and I like the newer front clip so I did it.

Your existing LT1 lighting harness has all the right connectors and sockets to go into the LS1 style lights . all you have to do is switch a couple wires around on the headlight harness . Lt1 used a 2 connectors , 1 2-way and 1 3-way , the LS1 headlights used 1-5way .
