Default LS1 Swap into 68 Camaro

Couple of quick questions. I know the Fbod oil pan needs modification to fit (with setback mounts??), can a gto pan be worked over the same way?

Will the GTO accessories work like the Fbody accessories will? (IE Fit)

Basically, I have the choice between a GTO and an Fbody LS1, I'm wondering which would be easier and cheaper to swap in. The Fbody LS1 @ 1600 for everything (minus the harness) and the GTO @ 2200 for everything (including harness).

Regarding wiring/PCM,

GTO is going to be DBC with a Green/Blue PCM and FBody is going to be Red/Blue PCM with DBC. Alternator wiring is different and O2s are different as well.

That just says, Red/Blue. Do you offer reprogramming for the Green/Blue? What kind of turn around time do you have?

From what I've found so far, you have the best price on PCM reprogramming...

Also, quite possibly a stupid question, so make sure you're sitting down, but those harness prices, are reworked (as in a core need to be sent in) correct?

The GTO is a front sump pan.. going to take way to much work to modify it.. better off starting with something closer to the rear sump pan.

I think the GTO Front accessories should work ok.. but well let other that have the setup ping in.
