Gbody LS Swap Info

Subscribed..... I started this project back in 2004. The last year it was plated. Anywho, I'm down to relocating the AC compressor, getting a radiator, and the driveshaft.

Day late and a dollar short? Last post was almost a year ago.....

You should start a build thread. Im sure you will get more help that way.

You will need a Map sensor as well. And knock sensors are not used at all.
