LS1 with the t56 Swap into my 86
Found a Ls1 with the t56 attatched for a really good price. As soon as the money comes in I will be getting it. Not sure what year but it came out of a Trans Am. Does any one have any suggestions.
As in do i have to put a tubular k member or can i notch mine or something along those lines?

What kind of headers can i run?

Can I use my stock radiator?

Where is the best place to put the computer?

If you have any other information that would be great. Thanks
