I also have a spare LS1 on the engine stand from a donor car I picked up a few weeks ago, looking for a good shell of a C10 to put that in.


Also I am amazed at the 7000 view of this thread. i'd bet a good majority of people got help and the others think I am an idiot, lol.

hope all is well with those that help me, you know who you are!
Nice work!!!

Next is kick dons cable I think, which yet again I am searching around for info on currently.

Gotta love baby duty days, she sleeps and I surf the net for ls swap solutions, lol

I know it's been some years, but do you remember which gas pedal you used?

Hey bud! I didn't see where you spoke about the solution for the throttle cable? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. God bless! I have a 66 SS Vert Impala.
