Holy shit. I’m doing the LT1 to LS1 swap on my Z. What else did you have to buy?

Lines and New wheels. I have mixed feelings because I love my Speedline Mistrals.

“We’re gonna need bigger wheels.”
Unless you have them already. In which case... carry on.

I got really excited you were talking about a Z-car there for a second. You mean Z28?

Damn. You might need some bigger wheels. (I don’t know what you actually have right now so...)

Yeah, my 17” Speedline Mistrals are being replaced by some Forgestar CF5’s. Vorshlag spec’d out a set for me in the best offset and correct hub/bolt pattern. I wanted to keep the wheels lightweight without going over $2K for a set of wheels and yet not go the route every f-body owner seems to do and use Corvette wheels/repros.

Had to get 18s right? Should have went C5! Didn’t have to get new spindles or anything?

I’m going a bit of an unconventional route, but that seems to be the pathway this thing is on anyway. Big cam, NA V6 w/ a T-56 and a penchant for killing cones on the auto-x course.
Just have to modify the bolt holes and open the bore on the rotors for the front.
Doing CTS-V rears too, that’s a bit more involved, but the rear needed a rebuild anyway.

Ok, cool. I missed that one. I’m going the 6-piston route and will do a write-up on it as well as progress stuff.
It will take some time since the wheels are about 6 weeks out, engine is maybe another couple weeks away and all that fun stuff.

Yeah, going from 17x9.5” Speedline Mistral 6’s to 18x10” Forgeline CF5’s.
