Hello Everyone, Thank for the opportunity to share my swap. Let me quickly give the reasons for doing the swap: 1. I want more power 2. My trans went out, and the price of a trans repair was the same price of an LS1 and 4l60e together 3. I like making things 4. I like the Touring body 5. The results will be wonderful and useful (dog, kids and family friendly) I have read some great build threads here, but I am afraid that mine won't be such a great read. I don't think I have it in me to work on the car then write about it after or during, so I will do the best I can. I think I would rather answer questions more so than just write. I'm in the early stages of the swap so not much big action has happened yet. Thanks again and I hope this helps people in the future, because people have helped me in the past. What is going into my build: -1999 LS1 -Trans 4l60E -4.10 LSD BMW Diff -2 into one exhaust (Why: Space and cost. It will be a 2.5 dual into 3.5 single with the a custom narrow angle merger) -Headers: I am not sure yet. This will be based on space and time. I may build a custom set of headers or may use some form of stock manifold -GTO oil pan (I may modify the oil pan and the cross member, but I have not decided yet) -Dual electric fans -AC -Power steering -Cold air intake with a possible ram air setup (air coming through the bumper into custom housing. I have to figure out how to deal with water in the housing though)
