73 Camaro LQ4 Converting to a 6.0 LQ4 with comp cams 281LR HR13 cam, 4L60E, new tank and global west suspension. Just seems that ever time I turn a corner, I run into something not working together. I am wanting a simple swap, but found out certain engine plates do not work with certain headers. Has anyone completed this conversion WITHOUT Edelbrock stuff?

1994 Miata - LS2 T56 Ford 8.8 Diff Not that this car is anywhere near finished, I thought I would throw this link out there for anyone who is studying or evaluating a possible Mazda Miata swap. This is V8Roadsters' kit with lots of Flyin Miata options for a hopefully clean appearance and well-engineered performance. Cheers!

2003 chevrolet express 2500 6l80e/6l90e conversion I have a 2003 Chevrolet Express 2500 Passenger Van that I would like to convert from 4L80E transmission to a six speed trans. Which would be best ,6L80E or 6L90E? What is the difference between them? I had also thought about changing out the old 6 liter for a fresh LS3. Now don't anybody laugh, but I have thought about one of the 480-525hp LS3's. Would the 6L80E/6L90E transmission be up to it? I pull a 25ft travel trailer as well as a 20ft Wells Cargo Auto carrier from time to time.
