i know its not an easy swap... i done what they said couldnt be done to my cobalt also. so this should be easier since people have actually done this swap before. if all else fails i can part the ls1 out and make my money then some back

Yea.... the LS1's dont have much room for error if the cyliders get F'd up and then your better off paying 1000 for a running ls1.
