Sounds good, keep us updated with the results. Just remember what ever you think you are going to spend, about double that figure and that is what you will most likely spend. I am sure you are experienced to know that if you have done swaps before.

There is just always something that you dont think about or something that comes up, and before you know it your way over budget, been there, done that, and am still not done yet.

Good to meet someone else from cape. That doesn't happen that often. Atleast on a message board anyway. Let me know if you need any help.

Yeah this is the first time i met someone so close as well. As of this afternoon i just got my oil pan back from S&P. Installed it and pulled trans away from engine to check clutck and flywheel. Of course it needs turned so i had the wife drop it off at auto tire machine shop on her way to work. Good news is the clutch seems new with about 500 to 1000 miles on it. I guess the prior owner replaced it but didn't feel like pulling the flywheel. I think the clutch can be reused anyways after i turn the flywheel. I'll ask at the machine shop. Anyway thats where i'm at as of today/.

Your way ahead of me. I still have to pull the old 305 out. Lucky for me though the new lt1's harness has already been fitted for a 3rd gen. I'm looking at Feb. Before I even start.

Hey I am from Cape as well. Although I am usually away at Mizzou. I am doing an extensive LS6/T56 swap into the trans am that will be done by February or so. I think I have the only medium blue metallic car in town now. There was that mbm vette sitting out by ace hardware but it sold to California.
