This message board is as useful as anyone site can ever be. If you want very specific play by play info, check out John bedzl's (sp-sorry john!) site, its great, I got alot of info from it over the past few years.

Check out the last two copies of Super Chevy or their web site for a 70 Chevelle LS1/LS6 install. Also Street and Performance's LS1 into a 70 Chevelle w/T56 at www.hotrodlane.cc

I hope to put my LS1/4L60E into my 72 Chevelle Wagon in next weekend. After I wire it and run the fuel line I hope to fire it up in a couple of weeks.

Best of luck!
