1999 Trans Am, LS1, heads, cam, headers, stall, etc! Love to surprise the rice rockets with this one. They seem so confident, then it's "what the heck just happened?"

Not something I could have done, but it is nice looking. Where did they put a big enough radiator to keep it cool?

It has this setup in the front of the car for the cooling. I wonder if the car is faster with this engine...  :stirpot:

V8 is all aluminum, and the 8 cylinders will give more torque.  Wondering how they set up the tranny?
