    and flows as much as a FAST LSX intake, you only have to remove the little notches... its a 30 min job.
    It is actually a copy of the fast 2 piece design ;)

    Will that intake fit under a stock hood? Disclaimer: I have no idea how much wider/narrower/taller/shorter an LS is compared to a BBB/SBB

    Got bored and couldn't wait anymore so I started to take the lark appart.
    Motor is ready to pull.

    Further I finally got the right lugs to mount the rear tires and check for clearance.
    Minor trimming needed to be 100% safe.
    Otherwise it even sits great... I think I dont have to change anything on the rear setup.

    Looks great! The only thing I don’t love about my wheels are that they don’t have a lip like yours. I’ll move onto a different set one day. Keep it going!

    Brakes are in new steering rack parts. And holley LS SWAP mounts.
    I could test fit the motor. Let's see.
    I have to wait for a few parts then we definitely have a roller.

    I believe you have to ditch the blower motor. Everything under the dash goes and gets replaced with a complete unit blower motor and all. I think the Oldsmobile kit works. Your running a LS motor correct? They have the compressor bracket for those opposed to the BBB which they don't have.

    Jup got it almost figured out VA s sales people are really bad. Telling me he never heard of a Buick Skylark!!?!
    But it seems the Chevelle kit is the way to go due to battery in pass. Side as our buicks. Olds and pontiac kits have the battery connection on the driver side.
