Try Conversions and Swaps section ( right here )
Notice there are 871 pages over the last 20 years?
Do some scrolling around: start at page 101 and work your way to present, you will find a LOT of questions asked, answered- some of them twice.

Also hit up lt1swap. They keep a lot of relevant wiring diagrams that should help if you are going to use a factory pcm.

There’s a handful of these builds on here, just gotta search in this section. Gofastwclass has a pretty good one, I took a few notes from him when I did mine.

Add another one to the list of people who don't read things that are posted in this section.
Screen name fits perfect.. booboo..

There are very few facebook groups that AREN'T pure dogshit when it comes to anything car related. I'll take the forums any day over the social media "experts".
