LT1 Swap Guide update

My apologies for taking this long on the guide, school work takes precedence.

Anyway, just got the Transmission section up. I'm waiting for some photos from home to do the power steering, cooling, and a/c sections. Should have those done by the end of the week. After that I'll tackle the electrical section. As always I'm always open to suggestions about the guide. I just ask to keep in mind I want to get all of the information up first, then I'll worry about layout and things like that.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed, I wouldnt be able to do this without your help.

thirim, pasky, send me your info and I'll get yall onto the registry as well.

On the FAQ page, it says a TPI intake cant be used on an LT1, it could if someone wanted to re drill it for the LT1 bolt pattern, the cooling has nothing to do with it being that there is no flow of coolant in the LT1 manifold, the passages would just become un used.

Oh yeah thanks. I also read a post not too long ago about modifying LT1 heads for use on Gen 1 SBC, I'll change those next time I upload new stuff.
