I had originally intended to put an LQ4 + TKO 600 into my 1970 F100 pickup. In my search for the right LQ4 I stumbled across an LS2 out of an '06 GTO and so my budget engine swap got a bit more expensive. After deciding I really wanted my pickup to not only go fast, but to handle good as well, I looked into the cost involved and it got pricey really, really, fast. So I did what any sane person would do and picked up a pretty sweet 86 Corvette. So my LQ4 + TKO swap into my F100 pickup turned into an LS2 + T56 swap into an 86 Corvette. I'm still scratching my head a bit over how this all happened, but Hell, this is going to be exciting. ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
I've already read quite a bit both on here and on other forums where guys have done a similar swap. I think I've got most of my questions answered, but I'm positive more will come up and you guys will be a great help, so I thank you all in advance. Oh crap, that reminds me. Anybody need an L98 + Doug Nash 4+3 manual tranny pullout? It's the original motor & tranny with 79k miles on it. Runs great, leaks a bit of oil from the passenger side valve cover. Here are some pics of the Corvette.

I finally found a good deal on a T56! Got this yesterday. I still need to get a bellhousing along with some other odds and ends, but we're getting close to where we need to be to get started. Just a few more weeks and I should be set.
Oh, and I spoke to Dan from Vetteworks today. It sounds like he's working on a similar project (LS2 into an '84 C4). He seemed like a pretty nice guy and offered to send me some pics of his project. He's also working on a new LSx adapter plate for the C4's. I may be the first to try out his new adapter plate!![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
