'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.

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!

Default 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!
