Great, now I want to stop by your place next time I'm up that way visiting my wife's relatives.

Great pics Stan.. Again,,clean real clean. What's the white van doing ?
Like the little LS1 decal,,something no one would notice unless they happen to know what an LS1 is and even then,,they'd have to do a double take for it to register.

nice set of pics and thanks for posting, lots of valuable info there
Re: '99 LS1 and 4L60E from a Trans-Am into a '98 2wd Astro
Stan, after much looking over your pictures, that swap will just not work and I think you need to send me the motor and tranny for my 98 firebird
Seriously, well, I was serious
, but anyway, nice swap, I would hate to pull up next to that thing and get my butt handed back to me.

Stan,
I have an LS2 in my '39 Chevy, in the final stages. Yours will be a killer swap! Did you use the plates for the V-8 mounts??

Wow, the LS2 looks a tight fit in the '39. Nice work. I don't understand the V8 mount question.
