alright cause this is a stock motor for now and nelson performance wants 300 for a already tuned computer that is supposed to do 30-35 hp gain with 1-3 mpg gain also with 93 oct. I however would rather someone local do it.
I got to find a engine harness or a wiring guru to help me out here with this one, but Im going to try to find time to do the k member install cause I dont wanna fab up mounts.

Don't use nelson. I cracked a ringland the first day on their tune. They will also lock your computer so no one can touch it. You need to tune in person and Todd is the way to go.

Alright now I need to find someone to mod a harness to work and decide how the hell to fit everything in there lol Im starting to buy the parts now to complete the swap. However the old lady wont let me buy it all at once so I gotta piece it all together.
I think the camaro f-body manifolds will work in the swap, but Im not 100% sure here so I guess here goes the long build if there is a part yall think I need let me know Im kinda blind here and dont really know alot about these motors and can be reached 100% of the time at 318-422-4775

I looked at a set of mounts on my brothers 5.3 since he is rebuilding it and I think I can get away with using my stock k member with a modified base plate for the ls mounts to hook onto, but not sure about the oil pan and har far it would hang down below the k member isf I could fit it. Maybe able to run a set of f-body headers or modified 351 swap headers with ls1 flanges on them.
Im going to go pull a motor (cant decide 5.3 or 6.0 I guess which ever is at the wrecking yard when I go) and back it with a turbo 350.
Who is the tuner in town that can get this setup right cause I know nothing about them and the tuning needed.

I think the stock pan ends up siting a little low for most people's comfort. If you know someone that can tig aluminum really well you could take an inch or two out like a lot of people do. My buddy has a spool gun for aluminum on his welder(waiting for him to buy gas), and in a month or so we're gonna play with one of my spare pans and see how it turns out. I'll post up if we ever get the time.
Did you mention already ordering the AJE? If you did and end up staying with the stock K-member, I'd be interested in the AJE for my thunderchicken. When I joined I picked 4.6turbocoupe, but 6.0turbocoupe may have a better ring to it...........Plus I've got two 6.0's sitting in the garage, and an F-body turbo kit I may be able to modify to fit.

I'll let him know tomorrow, you have a price in mind? He still owes me for some 5.3 heads, but I'll try and convince him. I'm hoping to shoot for a used TIG around next tax season, but we'll see.

Andy, the phone number that I can be reached at....all the time is (760) 696-5792 (It's on your back window....lol) That 985 number on the business card is for when I was in Slidell, LA.
Stupid Limiter! LOL! I guess I forgot to check for it after chasing Matt's tranny issues for so long. But hey, if that's the biggest beef someone has with my tuning......I'll take it!

Agreed, it was so much fun hitting the autobahn and hitting a brick wall at 104 in my old V8 Thunderbird. Limiter was there for a reason on those though, they all had driveline vibration after that from what I heard.

The beer turtle was kind to me today.
See the TURTLE of enormous girth!
On his shell he holds the earth.
His thought is slow but always kind;
He holds us all within his mind
