Im am going to be picking up my new motor and trany next week. The lucky pair is from a 1997 camaro with a lt1 and t56 six speed alson in the deal im picking up the full wiring for the cam along with the gauge cluster.

Nope, still getting ripped off just a bit...'97 Camaro was an LT1 engine, not LS1. You're getting a regular SBC with a fancy but unreliable ignition system, and reverse-flow cooling.

For that money you can get a '98 LS1 powertrain if you're patient.
