Default LS4 swap

I have a 2006 Grand Prix GXP. I'm going to pull the motor and harness/computers, the pedal, fuel system, rad/fans. What else would you strip? I know I know, get a real LS blah blah blah lol.

What's the nature of the project? So far you're just stripping a car down.

Crap I only posted half the question lol. Plans are to put it in a 76 Ford courier. I already have a Ford 9" that needs to be narrowed, buddy has an unknown th350 that he'll give me.

Install kit for the motor/transmission from powerbyace. Exhaust headers are for a 302, but I can just replace the flange can I not?

​​​​​​The starter issue looks like it was solved by the gentleman who put one in an MG.

The LS4 has a different transmission bellhousing that is different from all other gen 3 and gen 4 variants...

I believe speedway has a 60*v6 to th350 adapter plate. I'd like to keep it auto or else you can use a 2.2 S10 bell housing or a v6 Dakota and go manual.
