'81 Malibu, aiming for a 5.3/200R4 setup from a 305/3-speed...
'78 Malibu (shell for now) probably going to do a 6.0 (turbo or s/c)/T56.
I'm in the early stages (read: research
), but all in all it should be a fun learning experience

I just used the OEM PCM and Harness and just had someone remove the "VATS" from the PCM tuning.

In the process of replacing a cracked 87 GMC 305block w/th400 with a GenIII 5.3 w/4L60e or 4L65e once I find a tranny in budget. I don’t have pics yet, but I will. I’m going with drive-by-wire, LS2 intake/90mm throttle, Camaro engine accessories and oil pan.

'68 Z28
replacing 333/200-4R
with '99 LS1 (41k miles) and '04 GTO 4L60E (9k miles)
adding MS3 cam, LS6 intake, 4k (or so) stall
just getting started, gathering parts, actual work to begin this coming weekend
still need to finalize what to do to fuel system (sump stock tank? which pump? lines?)
long way to go, but should be worth it

About a year ago I had V8 Archie install an LS2 and 6 speed manual transmission into my 1986 Pontiac Fiero.
LS2 was a new crate motor.
Trans was a new GM "F40," this gearbox was used for two years ('06-'07) in the Pontiac G6 and is still used in the Saab 9-3.
Lots of smiles with this drivetrain!

96 Z LT-1 auto to 02 LS-1 auto!!! I have a 96 Z and I yanked all the motor and tranny, fuel tank and lines. I have motor tranny and wiring harness with tank and lines and k-member. The wiring for the tank is different and I know I am going to have to splice harness that goes into the car really need some good knowledge on wiring looks a little tuff!
