do a search here and at ls1tech.com. very common and they should answer all your questions. to keep it cheap i have found a few swaps with your 700r4 also. i believe all you need is a adapter, flexplate and longer bolts. good luck.

Re: i need help with lq4 in a third gen formula

What are you considering "cheap"? check the LTx/LSx sub-forum, lots of information there about it.

I do know you'll have to swap to F-body accessories, an LS1/LS6 intake for it to all fit under the hood to start with.

Putting an LSx version motor into a 3rd gen is not that cheap, I would probably budget around 3-4k including the price of the engine.

Let's move this to our LSx/LTx subforum.

Step 1 is to read the sticky on the topic in the top section of the forum.
