Another LS1 into a 3rdgen.
I'll Be doing this For sure! 
Just got a few questions So I can start Shopping.
Whats with the Motor Mounts? everyone has Diffrent Setups. How Come?
And What Wires Have to Be Spliced? Stuff for the Body? Such as Tail lights/headlights?

For motor mounts, ive tried almost every setup. The spohn ones work the best.
S&P style ones will cause you nothin but headaches.

Alright, Got that on the list.
Im Not much of an Electrical guy... I can do it. but takes me some time. I dont care about what wires Specifically.. just a few would give me an ideal.. I have access to alldata.. and I can get some Wiring digrams while Im here. but once i get home and do this swap.. I wont have such access.

Re: Another LS1 into a 3rdgen.
Im just finishing up a 2nd set of mounts that are teh same idea but push the motor back 1". Ill hopefully finish them for tonight and get some pictures up of how it mounts before i end up just using my straps & plates i made.
BTW: If anyone need's mounts fabricated, ive got 1 set of 6061 Aluminum S&P style, and can also make spohn type mounts.
