Yes DUD, it's been done.

OP I don't see you getting any serious help after that opening post.

If you seriously want to know about it you need to include what car you are working on that does not have a LS engine.

This is also the LT1-LT4 section you would be better off in the correct section.

While you're probably right, I don't see why he can't get at least some guidance here. This has been discussed in this section in the past without any foolishness-and his original question was pretty simple and straightforward without any LT1 bashing.

DUDCOUPE, go over to https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids-28/ and take it from there.

I can help with what I know. Although to be accurate you should add the year, make, and model so there is no guessing and you can get better help.
