Swapping LS1??? Got a few quick questions. I am doing the swap on my 98 v6 myself. Does anyone know where an accpetable place to bolt the engine hoist up to is on v6 block? Also I installed the 98 ls1 rear in my v6 bolted up fine but on the v6 rear only had one brake hardline leading to it where the ls1 rear looks to need two. I was wondering if it was possible to just install a y or t fitting inline and still have it work properly?

If your car only has 1 line then a "Y" should work.
