Default Making the swap

Well im finally about to make the swap. Ive been gathering part for a little while now, and the lt1 is driving me insane so i have completely decided to get the lt1 running, pulling it, and selling it and swapping in my lq9 that has been in the shop for about 6 months now. So it looks like ill be spending some more time over here for a while. This will be my first swap so please dont bash to hard on my future noob questions.
