Two things compel me not to give a serious answer.

1.) Your signature gif's.

2.) This wasn't lt1tech.com last I checked.

There are issues to watch like a longer 700R4 kickdown cable, using a '93 LT1/700R4 TB linkage bracket, etc. Try looking up your info here....should be lots of help http://thirdgen.org/techbb2/forumdisplay.php?forumid=20

That's been said, but hasn't happened yet. I get up to Englishtown and Island occasionally, maybe we'll bump into each other.

1. The LT1 is harder to put in the car than an LS1. A little more fabrication from my understanding.
2. Bad idea to use that tranny. Your tranny is like mine. 1st gear low for good take off and a high gear for overdrive for fueal economy. Also, the OD kicks in to soon on this tranny. If the tranny is stock is is only gonna be good for about 300HP. If you are doing this conversion, spent the money for the T56 or the 4L60E

As for all the smacking.... Go for it....
