Re: Another LSx/4L60e Swap (Done!!)

Wow, what a year! I am finally calling it done and I have to say... this thing is AWESOME!!! I wake up every morning looking foreward to driving it. Every time I turn it over Woosh!, it fires right up. The power that the 4.8 is fantastic and the overdrive + the 3.07 rearend makes for great highway cruising. At 75 mph it just kind of floats like my old caprice classic. Hit the gas and Bam! It rockets - I have pegged the speedo several times and I have to force myself to back off. It is so smooth and effortless to drive. I was asked today what year it was and I had to pause for a moment - I said well, most of it is a 76, but the doors are 85, crossover harness is 91, seats are 03, engine and transmission is an 06, hood is a 74, cluster is a 90, bezel is an 85, fenders are new, so...I guess it is a mutt. But damn, this thing is a blast to drive. I always tried not to post questions or PM before searching the board, but the bottom line is that I could not have done this without the knowledge of all of the contributers of this board. Thank you. If you are "on the fence post" about doing a swap I wouldn't hesitate. Do it!
