Default 2nd gen LSx conversion

I've had a hard time finding information about swapping an LSx into a 2nd gen f-body. Does anyone have any links to some info for it?

Once I get my suspension done it will be time to drop in the LS1/T56.

Also do advance searches on the 2nd Gen F-body userid's (as you find them.)... also.. yahoo and google search will also get you hits... just need to be selective on your search requests

Mizzouri.. what is a 1978/72 ?.. did you mix and match parts from both years ?

It's a 1978 that is being converted to look like a 70-73 RS.

Thanks for putting the links in the post. It's good to have them all in one post. I put a LQ9 and 4L80E in a 78 trans am. You can look under my login for posts about this.
