You will need an 01 f-body PCM, the old one will not work. You can use a flywheel spacer to bolt your old 4x4 trans to the LS1, but you may also have to rewire the trans so that the LS1 computer can control it. All the electrical connectors on the your trans and an LS1 truck trans are the same, but I have read that some of the internal wiring is different, I cannot confirm or refute that for sure though. You could also just get a 4x4 4l60e trans from a LSx truck and that will plug right in, you would just have to make the driveshafts fit.
