New to Ls1 motors completely Hey all, my name is Brant, and I come from South Bend, IN. Like the title says, I am completely new to Ls motors all together. Mostly because I hung on to the old dinosaur engines but I finnally made the move. You will probably see a post from me soon in the tech section, as I am looking to put an LS3 motor in my 79 Trans am to make it a street/track car (I would say strip but I don't drag race), and have just about no idea what I need or what to do. So hopefully I can find some great help since I have been lurking here for several months. Thanks everyone

Hello, the gen 3 and 4 LS engines offer amazing potential in a small light package.
That F body will handle even better with that all aluminum LS3 based build in it.
500+ HP couple it with an overdrive and get some decent fuel economy. Sounds like fun.

You read my mind haha. Long story short, my issue is I have already rebuilt the rear end (3.08 gears now, over the 2.41) and I have rebuilt the TH350 trans. I don't want to get rid of the trans because I have put the money in it, but I probably won't have a choice.
