Thumbs up Need A Good Conversion Shop

I need to find a shop that can put an LS7 into a 1996 Impala SS that is completely stock. I am also probably looking to go with a wet sump oil system instead of the stock dry sump.

Preferably I would like a shop that has done it at least two or three times on Impalas or LT1 Corvettes and Camaros. I cant do any of the work myself :-) I dont care where the shop is in the U.S., it just needs to be a first rate shop that knows what they are doing. Any and all replies welcome :-)

Let me know

Iron Mike SS

Yeah it shouldnt be that hard. Street and Performance makes motor mounts to put the LS engines in the Caprice/Impala... They also have the wire harness needed.. GM is also coming out with a wire harness for just these kinds of conversions. I just cant do it myself. I would mess the car up...that much I know
