Nice way to update an old cruiser. Thought about using a 700r4 or a 4L60? That way you can use a gear to get the boat moving and still get some semblance of gas mileage......just a thought.
Good luck with your swap and document it.

I plan on going with the 700r4 a little later cause i put a new 350 trans in it last summer. Thanks

Thank you. Here are a few pics,i started yesterday pulling the engine out and today we installed the ls6. This car has lots of room under the hood and looks like its gonna be a very easy swap.We moved the mounts back 1'' and it worked out perfect,didn't move the trans nor drive shaft.

Hey I know this is a old post but I'm doing a swap on my 73. My options are the 350/400 and maybe the l60 transmission. My question is how did your 73 hold up with the 350 and what mods did you have to take on to make the engine work in the car... thanks
