Sweet, nice project. Just finished doing one myself, click on my link below for some helpful tips. If you need anything, feel free to PM. A few questions;


        You are headed down the right road, and you will not believe how your car will drive once it's finished. It is totally awesome....

              Default More LS Nova's

              Seems like all of us Steve memeber are over here also..

              I would recommend you contact john @Speartech he will be able to help out with Computer, Harness and trans he had some 80's not sure if their still around you understand you will be cutting up your floor with a 80 i would recommend you get a Built 60 from one of the vendor sm 0n this site if your not intrested in cutting up the car 500 hp shoulld be doable.

              Any three of us Steve member can answer all your questions ....

              I have a TCI coilover front clip and a TCI rear four link.
