I like the idea of getting the complete vehicle, especially if you retain the factory computer and such. There's sooo very much stuff on the market to convert a LS into anything. I favor hooking it up the factory way. GM made the best drivetrain stuff, period, don't have to even say a word about the engine. Not many folks insane enough to do this w/ a stink'n dodge or ford...

The LS engine family is impressive for many reasons. As one example, look at this cylinder wall in a 5.7 from an 02 Firebird with 160k. No ring ridge and the cross hatch is still visable.

Awsome trick i learned it from a exhaust shop i worked at after school back in the day. Things like this can't be found in book but can be learned from a true craftsman .great job passing down the tech tips like this one.

You might as well fabricate new engine perches from scratch because the amount of work is about the same by the time you hack up the originals and re-work them.

No - we sliced the edge off drivers side corner and welded it back up - about 15 min job

The Yukon driveshaft was 1" to long - so we changed out to an old style yoke and it fit perfect
