Anyway I have a stock 95 trans am lt1 of course, I wanna do a twin turbo setup on a ls1.......so basically I'm looking for a 12 bolt rear end, a stock ls1 complete with a transmission. Were would b the best place for me to get that? If anyone could help me out that would be much appreciated. Thanks. O ya and the harness and whatever else I forgot to mention.

Welcome 95transbird. Sounds like you already have a good idea of what you want out of your fbody. I would suggest you research a little more on your potential drivetrain swap. Alot of guys here actually swap out their 346ci LS1 motors for the 6.0L LQ series motor. More cubes and more power potential ftw! What is your budget if you don't mind me asking?

My budget is around 10,000.
And as for the motor, I kno the differences in them. But fir the setup I'm trying to do the LQ would b a better? For what reasons?

Doing your setup with an lq is better because theyre iron rather than aluminum and the bottom ends are stronger and could hold more power

5.3 would be a cheaper route, 10k wont get you very far with a good tt setup and supporting mods
