Did you do the swap yourself? Where did you get the swap parts from (engine mounts, trans crossmember, etc)? I've always wanted to swap a Gen III in my '78.

Yeah I did the complete install myself. From short block, cam swap, gaskets to x-member modification and braided line prep/install long list of parts but 2nd gens seem to be the easiest to do the swap on.

Easiest way to do it is start with a complete lsx car buy a harness and adapter plates n u got 1\2 the battle already won.

I acquired my motor\trans\computer\brakes in a trade for what was left of my 96 lt1. Outside of that just on parts for the conversion probably 2000 but I added a few parts which cost me. Id estimate if u were just taking a motor out and swapping in a ls motor it could be done in about 20 hours or so. But with me having minimal ls motor experience waiting on parts and starting with a car that needed a bit of extra tlc I've spent 60-70 on it.

As far as paint I'm thinking bright silver with carbonfiber stripes and spoilers. But i'd rather use a color that isn't so cliche.
