I'm interested in seeing this come together. I'm planing on doin the same thing to my 69 shortstep. There is one site I found that has a lot of wiring info, LT1swap.com
This guy breaks down the whole harness from whats hot and whats not. Some of the info is a bit overwhelming though.
Good luck, and hope all goes well.

There's tons of info on the LSx Swaps section of this board:

67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/forumdisplay.php?f=206

All the FAQs are covered. Once you're up to speed on the basics, if you have any super-specific questions, ask over there and you'll probably get a knowledgeable answer. What you're doing is a super-common swap, so shouldn't be too many surprises as long as you do your research.

Looks like it will be cool when done. Have fun!

I Guess I Need To Start From The Bottom And Move Up.... I Have Seen A Couple Of Different Motor Mount Set Ups. One Was Basically A Flat Plate With Holes That Accept The Original Motor Mounts, And The Other Needed The Frame Mounts To Be Changed To A Later Model. Other Than "Kits" I Haven't Seen Much About Trans Mounting. Do The Original Trans Mounts Work?? Is The Engine Angle Alright Using The Factory Trans Mount, Or Is An Aftermarket Mount Needed??

I am planning on using an original transmission cross member. I'm just not sure which one yet. I have one for a TH350 and one for a TH400. Whether or not you can use any of the original frame holes depends on where your engine is located front to back, from what I read on here. I don't know about the angle yet.

Sort of like taking all the good from the old truck and inserting all the bad from the new...
Why not just buy a volt?

Nothing wrong with creativity :ito:

If Taking A Well Worn 355/350 That Was Built In The Mid 80's Is Taking The Good Out, Then Yes.....
