LS1 and T56 in '66 ChevyII I have decided to go with the LS1 and T56 set up in my '66 ChevyII. I am looking for information on a adverage cost of a LS1,T56, wiring harness and computer. I am not going to use the A/C.
My car has a Heidt's front sub frame so space is not a problem. Thanks in advance for information and help with this project.
Thanks,
CT

Depending on how you wnat it to look when it is done, the harness can be either modified to be self contained, or you can get a whole new harness to give you a lttle more leeway on looks and location of things like the computer.
I have seen this from $350 for the mod, to around $750 or so for the new harnesses.

We're doing one at our shop and having all kinds of heck with the stock steering linkage and oil-pan. The customer didn't want to do another front-end yet, which would make things SO much easier...
Your oil pan will have to be cut back quite a bit.
The car will be really sweet once it's done though.

We're painting the engine bay tonight. We're in the middle of moving our shop, so things are going to get delayed a bit... Next week in the new place I'll be able to dedicate most, if not all, of my time towards it and I'll post pics and keep you updated.

I'm in the process of installing a "modified" 5.3 GEN III and 4l60E in my 66 Nova with stock front clip.
Here is a link to T&T Customs who took the body down to bare metal, rebuilt the front end, installed disk brakes on front and is installing the engine/transmission.
