71 Firebird with 6.0 L76 and 6L80E auto

[Cape TA]

I am just starting this project and thought I'd share my progress here. I've never done an LS swap before but I've been planning this out for several years. Anyhow, last week I picked up a 70k mile g8 drivetrain with accessories and harness. Already have a buyer for my stock setup so it's getting pulled next week.

Looks like a great start and a nice car to begin with. I'm almost done with my first ls swap and it hasn't been that bad, just getting time to work on it has been my problem. Definitely a learning process but fun. Good luck!!

Thanks! Yah getting the time to work on mine will be a limiting factor as well.

Should I move this to the Project Updates?
