Sounds like a fun project, and I can sympathize with the family returning deadline.

I put an '01 LS1 in my '82 Z28 and it's really been fun to drive. On the road courses, it's a really noticeable change in terms of handling (less weight) and corner exit speed (more torque).

Well, the dead line I had set came and went and still not done. I have run into tranny mounting trouble.

I have the JTR tailhousing and can't figure out how to mount it to the spohn 4l60e crossmember.

Can anyone help or/and provide pics of what they did?

Thanks.
