started my swap
Today I pulled the ls1 and t56 from my donor car today. I've done a lot of research about the swap but for those that have done it if you have any tips or tricks please share them.

First question is whether you've read the LS1 swap sticky in the top section of this forum.

Looks can be deceiving the interior of the car is trashed and it has a selvage title. I thought about fixing it up be I think third gens are just plain cooler cars.

I do have the whole car but I plan on building a rear end and keep the stock dash.
