5.3 vortec LM7 conversion with 4L60E tranny
Is there a problem with fitting a 4L60E in a 72 A body? I heard it can require cutting the floor pans to fit. I am looking for where i should buy motor mounts, oil pan etc.. preferably i would like to hear from someone who has done an A body and has good advice before i start buying these parts. thanks in advance

We have just completed installation of an LS 3 crate engine into a 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible. This was the 525 hp engine with a T-56 magnum six speed and a For 9 inch with 3.89 gears. I have now put about 1200 miles on the car and still sorting out the gremlins. I am the second owner of the car. First owner ordered it at the first of the production year with AC, 4 speed and bench seat. Unfortunately, he sold the engine and transmission out of the car about twenty years ago and, it sat in a barn from 1994 until I finally talked him into selling it in 2013. With no original engine or trans, I decided to go with the LS engine swap. Did not realize what all was involved in this swap. A hell of a lot more complicated than the old stuff! LS1 Tech has been a great deal of help. Thanks! DublinGTO

Just bought the truck with the conversion already done (kinda). Runs & drives fine but the only original gauge that works is the voltmeter.
Wiring looks like a nest of electron snakes both in the engine compartment and under the dash.

Did a swap into my 2000 Miata
Drivetrain is from a 2000 Z28 with T56.
Rear end is from a Cadillac CTS-V with custom axles.
Flyin Miata install kit and headers and exhaust.
2600 lbs and about 350 HP.
A real sleeper as it looks stock from the outside.
