i got new 2015 ls3 camaro manifolds for 130$ shipped off ebay and some cheap adjustable 3/8" mount plates to get the motor in there. will probably run the 2000 rad if its an easy swap so the oil cooler and steam line will still work.
at first i was thinking of just dumping the 100 miles of wiring/big fuse block in there with a few leads to make it work but now i think i'll follow the lt1 instructions on minimizing it to the essentials.
speaking of wiring do you guys think i should put a speed sensor adapter (from dakota digital i think) on the 205 speedo drive for the cpu or is it even a good idea to try and get it tuned to run without one?
keep in mind i plan to haul/tow heavy stuff almost exclusively so i want the setup/tune on the safe side.
i'll take pics of goodies as they show up.
