Re: 4th to 3rd gen swap

before making your FIRST post here, one that has been asked (AND ANSWERED) a million times.

There is little you can think of to ask, that hasn't been asked and answered. goes a LONG WAY.

Short answer is, yes you can.
I'll point you in the right direction. Check out this thread

Also I would find out that engine. It is mostly a LS1 or LT1
For LS1 -

For LT1 - https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/ltx-...questions.html
