I have a copy, it does give some usefull information if you have no knowledge of the LS1, it's electrical pin outs of the PCM, other equipement and all. It has a few usefull swap information for using GM Parts, But there are aftermarket part that are available.

I think it is a little costly for what you get, but usefull at times. If you need information, you can usually find it here on one of the forum's. I can provide info out of it if you require some info from it.

They are listed on EBay.. I think people buy, read, copy and sell then.

I have one and have found it useful, but honestly the pages are not dog-eared and greasy from use. It would be especially useful for those who are doing their own wiring and harness mods. That being said much of the pin out information is already available in the FAQ here, but the guide does have wiring diagrams that the FAQ does not. There are also a lot of useful part numbers in there. Bottom line: Would I be able to get as far as I have in my swap without it? Yes. Did I learn useful information from it? Also yes. For me, I would rate it nice to have, but not must have.

I have heard mention of a Street & Performance swap guide on DVD, but I can't find it on their site. Anybody know anything about this?

I know what their site is (thanks though), but I don't see any mention of this DVD that I have heard about. I have searched their site, but came up with nothing. I was hoping there was some info on there, but I may just have to call them.

I called them and they sent one to me for free. It's useful to give you a good orientation, but mostly it is marketing for their products. Still has lots of good info and gives you ideas how to do things.

Good to know, thanks guys. Just trying to gather as much info as possible. Not just for my car, one of my brothers has a '78 Vette that he wants to put a LSx/T56 in, another is looking at a '94 9C1 with a blown motor that he would like to put a LQx/4LxxE, and my Dad's '94 Suburban has developed a knock and we are trying to convince him that he needs a LQ9/4L80E in it too. Anyway, thanks again.
