There IS a reason that the LS series of engines is currently used in everything from drag Hondas to drift cars to buggys etc. despite anyone's personal views on GM in general, the LS is a friggin beast!

For those who don't know, these dudes build some SICK LS's. They also do a couple nice I6 strokers for the Jeep purists

Sir if you do it, please make a video, I'm not asking you to trash your tires with burnouts, just an overview of your setup. Thinks man!

The only thing keeping me from doing it is that there is over a month of work involved and my 98 gas getter isn't too fond of snow. But there will be a tire shreading video...... you know, to test the... drivetrain haha

making a harness is the easiest part imo.... just take a picture of the old harness and new one, and you draw how the wires connect, and it its easy once you have written down...

That is the most difficult part. Unless your going to make a garbage setup, the wiring is the most complex part when mating two completely different computer systems
