Does anyone know how turn key's parts are Hey I am doing this LS1 swap into my 69 nova and found that turn key preformance out of Cali makes a swap kit. I just wanted some input from someome who may have used them for kits like this or any of there parts. The kit they offer includes all external fuel stuff (i.e. pump/reg) also motor mounts, headers, harness, computer for motor and trans, and an LH8 pan. the kit runs 2600 and the computer comes pre set for elimination of VATS emissions and and power add on's you have. Also they told me that I should be able to re-use my TH350 trans mount by just slightly modding it (Any truth to that for a 4L60E trans) Well any input would be great hope to hear from someone soon.

oh 1 other thing if you have the 4l60e use it but you must use the shifter out of the donor because it is an electronic shift ask about that as well..
i would use the 60 over the th350 any day

I agree with Banshee,
turnkey is a good outfit from what I've heard, lot of the sandrail guys out here us their engines.
But you can do most of that stuff for cheaper,
can get a Walbro pump for 130 bucks, I spent about 300 bucks for my fuel line system, but its all AN fittings, stainless braided hoses, Corvette filter/regulator.
Engine mounts are about 50 bucks
the harness can be done in house, just look in the FAQ section and there is plenty of info, its pretty easy to do.
and like stated, can get a PCM on ebay, programmed for under 200 bucks, and if your not doing any engine mods you can get one cheaper for just deleteing the basics.

I live near Turnkey in North San Diego County and I have been through their facility when I was considering them for my LS1 conversion. Their facility and products are first class and I would not hesitate to use them if you decide to go that way. I did not, and chose to use some of the other aftermarket kits e.g. Edelbrock conversion and the Howell harness and computer kits.
I asked myself the same question you are asking here; is it better to go with the conversion kits which are more expensive, or should I go it alone and throw in my labor and theoretically do it for less.
Well, if you understand all things automotive, and especially electrical systems and schematics, then you can do it with the help of this website. If you want to avoid alot of the first time pitfalls and mistakes, then the other way is more efficient.
In retrospect, if I had honestly budgeted the cost of the project, and you place some value on your time, then the Turnkey option is not that much more, especially if you run into some of the typical wiring problems that take forever to solve.
Either way you go, the end result is great. BTW, the guy who gave me the facility tour built the sickest Chevy II Nova with a twin turbo LS2 that took him over six years to finish and runs in the nines! I see it around town and it is awesome. Good luck.

true turnkey is definitely a goog company but you also pay for the knowledge that you can find for free here on ls1...nova 69
i did my own harness and almost finished with it spent about 6 hours on it so far and now i need to add in a little fuse box with relays and im done wont take but another 2 hours..so 8-10 hours and save yourself about 400.00 buy the harness for around 150 used from a 99-02 camaro/firebird ls1
here is a links where i started with my harness and i actually deleted alot more than that but here is a start..
