ok got this crazy idea might work i want to mod my lt1. I Am planning to change my ignition set up by moving the location of the opti spark. My idea will be changing the cam dowel so I can use an Ignition control modual with caps from possibly an Ls1 or another engine that uses I control modual for the ignition set up so that I can increase spark power and make tune up easier. what I need though is the firring order for both engines and cylinder locations as well as travel hight for pistons in both engines If my theory works which it should I'll post what i did and how Im pretty sure that the ls1 will be closest

The LS1 doesn't have a control module or cap. It has one coil per cylinder.
Why not pull the intake and have it machined for a regular distributor and then run a megasquirt setup? Would be pretty simple, wiring would be easy and it would basically run like a regular SBC at that point.
