it came with the 4L60E that I traded for a 4x4 version as it will be going in my K/5 Blazer.....

I got everything with it including an uncut harness which I have already had converted......got the cruise control module too

the whole set-up cost me around $3000 after getting the harness reworked and the PCM re-flashed....

my thought is...... I don't need ground-pounding horsepower....just good performance, economy, and reliability.
I'm with you 100%. I found my LS1 out of a 2002 Firebird LSX with ~42,000 miles with a T56 Six Speed. PC already flashed and ready to install in my 70 for $2500. Easyest swap I've ever done and the most enjoyable one to drive and have fun with. Might up the HP later but for now just enjoying the fuel mileage and smoking the tires in 1st 2nd and a chip in 3rd LOL
