01' v6 camd Firebird to 01 cad LS1
I put it in this section cuz basically Ill be a new LS1 owner technically. I have a 2001 camd 3.8v6 Firebird with many mods and it put down 206rwhp/200rwtq which in my eyes is respectable. I was gonna sell the car but decided to do a Ls1 or LS2 swap in it. So I came acrssed a partial wrecked 2001 TA with 89k miles pewter/ebony t56 and got it for 4k. So it was same year, same color and just 7k miles more than y v6 car almost a perfect match it seems. The TA had a few mods SLP full intake kit, Pacesetter LT w/ory, Eibach pro kit, Hooker muffler. I decided to do a cam in his car and back it with a stalled 4l80e. Following is the mods that IM adding to this setup. I already had plenty of mods on the car which is a good basis for the swap. Here is a link to pics and what mods are on the car as well as what Im puting on it.

Puttng a stock 4l80e behind that motor is a waste IMO. Stay with a 60 or run a slightly built 60. It'll be fine.
UD pulley?
shaved down balancer?
^^^what the hell does that mean
Metal crush sleeve is called a solid pinion spacer.

Underdrive pulley and the balancer you just have the excess material shaved off. A bunch of builders around me have done this and has worked out well for them. Well what ever the piece is called wether it be crush sleeve or pinion spacer.
