What engine do you plan on using...LT1,LT4,LS1, etc.?? You can bolt up any S.B. to your tranny, but will the tranny hold?? Depends how much power you plan on making. If you leave the engine and tranny in the stock location MOSTLY everything will bolt right up.

There are others, but I can't remember them right now.

Youll need the Jags that run swap book.
And you will need a stand alone computer to run the tranny, unless you swap out the 4L60E for a 700R4/4L60 tranny.
