Ls1 Cormino drift car project
Set out to build a 1 of a kind Drift/Street car 1984 El Camino with Corvette: motor/trans/seats/mats/rims/brakes. Got my hands on a ls1/4l60-e
Started out by getting a custom fuel cell made with a built in fuel pump that supports up to 500hp.
also lowered it 1" with some edelbrock springs and some IAS shocks.
Still need to put body/all bushings and lower/upper control and trailing arms.
Built a roll bar that goes behind the seats and connects to the frame on the doors sides
extensive modification to the frame and other areas that had clearence issues.
worked out some intake and more clearance issues.
put new radiator and electric fan and auto trans cooler
And I just recently finished the motor and trans and everything else I had to do.
right now the car is at the wiring guy/ a/c guy. And now I need to buy some rims and tires and brakes. And do some drifting.

Re: Ls1 Cormino drift car project
heres a cheesy photoshop i made last night to get an idea of how the 2 tone paint scheme would look on it. Would probably look alot better if it were real...
