Default Anyone ever swapped an LS into an 80's Fbody?
Has anyone ever swapped an LS engine into an 80's Fbody?
I would like to get an 87-88 Trans Am GTA and swap an LS1 into it.

Any thoughts, advice, etc?

Just research for 3rd gen swaps.. many swap here on LS1Tech and on other specific 3rd Gen forums..

Hawks.com is a good site as is thirdgen.org.. but there is more out there just search.

Can't tell yet - had to take a job that pays a whole lot less, so the project's kinda been moving in slow motion... It's not finished/running yet.
