NEED HELP for my LS swap thanks.

I have a 1988 iroc z camaro automatic. About 5 years ago I bought a ls3 and tr6060 out of a 2013 camaro. Was wondering what all I would need to get the most inexpensive but good safe build. I also have a 1995 camaro with a t56 trans and was wondering if that would just slap in? Cause friends said there will be some metal fabrication to get the tr6060 to go in but if there is metal fabrication for both then I will just use the tr6060. In summery was wondering the best yet decent priced wiring harness and brackets and all thanx again

Welcome aboard. Take a look at the stickies at the top of this forum and read, read, and read again. There are multiple answers to each of your questions and no two swaps are the same. What is your budget and what are your goals?

Few quick things, LT1 T56 is not the same as LS T56. Yes they can be converted but not worth the hassle. TR6060 will require a new tail housing to accommodate a traditional shifter.

What he said.. I also bought a ls3/6060 and found out that it would be a whole lot easier to just but a new t-56 magnum F. I got the whole kit from Hawk's.. pricy yes, but it has everything.
