Default LS bravada
I have a 99 olds bravada with GMC typhoon turbo conversion. I'm now wanting to do an LS swap. Anyone here have any advise, besides not doing it. Thanks

The tough part is the oil pan,when someone finally produces one that fits for a decent price,these AWD swaps will become a lot easier and very popular.

I never did the swap. Just left it how it was and sold it. And yes I miss that truck, one of my favorite vehicles

On the 2004 Buick Rainier, very similar, they use a front sump pan with a large hole through it for the axle to go through.
