Question:

Before anyone gets their panties in a knot, literally at the top of this whole section of the forum is the sticky threads with a mountain of information that me and others have posted. I'll even be a sweetheart and link it:

G-Body LS Swap

The place to discuss putting a modern LS-series engine in your G-Body.

Thank you! Haven't used a forum in a while, just been searching the "ls swap" threads til you posted this link.
I'm still thinking about NOT asking for help, considering the responses I'm seeing to the subject.

And the fact my motivation is that I just wanna roadkill my first car to get it moving under its own power, will help.
(I'd MUCH rather do the 327/powerglide- but, rebuild, rebuild money, rebuild work, space, time, rust, dirt, clean, break-in,
Vs-Mount, plumb, & plug)

Just looking for a little previous experience info, like driveshaft length. But the vast majority of swappers out there can't seem to figure out "just keep everything that worked together connected", which is why I plan to share my build around that specific idea.

I'll check stickies- thank you!
