LS motors have been installed. I'm going to attempt one soonish.
You will need motor mounts to place the engine in the right location . I believe people have used hooker headers (rear dump) to clear the steering box and you need a rear hump sump which Holley and others do.
I have heard that the gearbox fit can be an issue for some but not others so I'm not sure what to do there yet but I'm going to try a 4L60e.
If you have Facebook (Avanti swap page) there is a fellow selling his Ls swapped Avanti. Its rough looking but he might have some answers.

I thought it was around 12mm. I will check when I get home but it won’t be for a couple of weeks.

Does anyone know if Olympus Avanti has an email address?
Thx

Try looking for Hawk or Lark gaskets. I think the only difference in the bucket is the location of the hole for the wiring.

From the ones I’ve seen they pry off.

Sounds like you're having fun.

You should be able to unwind the screws to take the latch off.
If not then the screws are stripped or frozen in place. From memory the 3 screws attach to a threaded plate behind the fiberglass. The plate has a little play in it so you can move the latch around for adjustment.

Hello Everyone,
I'm doing some body repair in prep for painting. I'm starting at the trunk and was wondering if there is a secret to getting the right height and gaps on the trunk lid?
I guess I need to know what areas to look out for ie do the top corners of the lid need to be flush with the body and should I set it up with the boot seal taped in place etc etc.
Thanks
Peter

My guess
The receiving of MFG assembled bodies, and back glass falling through opening.

Thanks for the photo, that's the filter. I see Hawk and lark listed, surely Stude being frugal they would have used the same filter on all.
Thanks

Looking for the filter that goes in the heater blower assembly.
On the SI site they have filters for a Hawk or Lark, are they the same part for the Avanti ?
Thanks

I find myself in the position of having to get front and rear bumpers as the chromer I left them with has disappeared.
Which vendor have people been getting the repo bumpers from ?Peter

I tend to agree.
It wasn't a factory combo, I'm just stuck with this combo. My initial plan was to do a black interior so I ordered a black dash, but over the years I changed my mind. Sounds like I need to dye the dash. I might practice on the roll cage cover first. Pb

Does anyone have an Avanti with a black dash and turquoise interior?
I want to see what it looks like before I go to the trouble of dyeing the dash turquoise.
Any photos would be appreciated.
Thanks
Peter
