Where you guys from in Illinois? I spent $550 on the engine, and $200 on the trans. It had everything but the wiring harness, and since the engine was so cheap, I figured it was a good reason to splurge on a custom harness. I posted a classified on racingjunk.com for the hell of it, and within about a week a guy e-mailed me from up in the milwaukee area saying he had an lt1 for me to check out. The only reason I'd abandon it is because of all the wiring, so that's why I'm gonna save myself the grief and have a custom harness. Other than that I'm planning on moving the radiator forward, relocating the battery, and making custom mounts and modifying the stock trans crossmember until I can afford all the fancy LHT stuff.
