I installed the GMPP LSA Crate engine with a tricked out 4L80E. It was stick with the LS3.
I will probably stick the 6 speed back in the car as it's gettin boring with the auto.
I ran a 10.96 at Milan on Saturday then an 10.93 at Byron on Sunday. 1.62 to 1.63 60' on radials

Is the LSA mostly stock?
How much power do you think the 4L80 is eating up?

These engines will not readily drop into anything without adding/removing some parts.
The Crankshaft has an 8 bolt flange.
The intake ports/exhaust ports are LS7 style.
The harmonic balancer is corvette/ctsv/g8 style.
There is no oil pan.
There are no provisions for the ign coils to mount to the valve covers.
So lets say you were to try and put this into a 4th gen f body. You would need the following:
1. your oil pan, pickup tube, windage tray, dipstick, tube plus a new pickup tube o ring and oil pan gasket
2. LS7 carb or efi style manifold. With that add on injectors and or injector harness adapters and a TB, elbow etc for the intake
3. remote coil locators
4. 8 bolt flexplate and or flywheel
5. LS2 cam and knock sensor extension harness
6. LS7 style headers with ls7 flange (not uncommon)
7. reuse your accessories including balancer (meaning new crank bolt and wp gaksets as well)
8. 58x-24x conversion box
9. make your own pcv system
10. tune

Are they (GM) going to offer a harness/ECM package like their regular crate motors?
thanks,
