I have pictures of my LT1 setup.

Here are some pics I took a few minutes ago.
Motor is dirty looking but should clean up pretty well.
Hope to have it in the car tomorrow evening.

Thanks,
Now all I need is a manual so that I know what all the wires are used for.

Didn't someone make a tech article or a faq for doing this swap?

The tech article was for a '93 ECM only I believe, and it was an F-body ECM. you're gonna need to get the shop manual of the car you got the motor out of. It'll save your butt big time and it's the best source of info when it comes to wiring. Seriously get a shop manual! he motor looks good, but at least run a rag over it .

mat89rs thank you so much for the wiring breakdown. This is exactly what I have been looking for. All I could find info on was the 94-97 motors which are different as we all know. Thanks again.
