hi since you're new, i'll be polite. I looked in this forum itself and in the first 5 pages there are SEVERAL threads on thirdgen ls1s.

also there is a nice sticky on www.thirdgen.org in the ls1 swap board.

Are you wanting an aftermarket 5spd or retain stock? I don't think the stock 5spd T5 would be up to the task of LS1 torque, even if the LS is kept stock.

very true if your wanting to go with a stick you might just want to go with the standard ment to be behind an ls1....the t56 6 speed.

This is your first post so one thing to learn is to read, read, read, then ask when you get confused. But when people flame you for asking don't worry...many of them made the same mistakes
