Default LS1 Engine Conversion

I have a plan for my TA. My plans are as of now to drive it til end of summer. By the end of summer buy a 1500 car that will last me through the winter. In the meantime I'm going to be buying the parts to do a LS1 ENGINE conversion. I am going to need the engine, 6 Speed trans, K member, fuel rails from a 97 Corvette (EDIT: I CAN JUST USE A LS1 FUEL RAIL AS WELL) , maybe a raditor, gauges, pcm, wiring harnes and maybe some AC crap. But i'm going to slowly grab the basics. If ANY of you hear about a sweet deal with ANY of these parts, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! You can even call me. My number is 313-806-3530. Now i'm trying to keep this thread small so please only post in here if you hear of something. Thanks guys!

Things I need:
1. LS1 K member
2. LS1 Fuel Rails
3. LS1 Gauge Cluster
4. LS1 Wiring Harness. I believe the 98' so i don't have to Split the connection. (Correct me if i'm wrong)
5. LS1 PCM

Thats it for now. Show me what you got! PM ME!

Why dont you just sell your car and go buy an LS1 car. They aren't that expensive. Sounds like your wasting time and money to me.

Nobody is buying my car for 6500. Everyone is just low balling me. Unless i find a really good deal. I want a 98 but there are NO 98 Trans ams out there with a 6 speed. It's so hard to find. They are all camaros and i don't like camaro so.......

That sounds great. I am waiting to hear from someone but they haven't replied in a few days. I just may have to take everything off your hands. your getting rid of the trans as well. What has happened with the motor. How much would it be for the WHOLE car for parts. Just let me know.
