Default Need a Book - Help

Well I've started the re-build of my 77. Body off, frame blasted and painted (LeMans Blue - looks pretty good with the black powder coated parts). Have installed VBP suspension and steeroids. Now, I've bought an LS1 and 4L60e from an 02 TransAm (LS6 intake). I have a complete set of manuals from an 03 C5 that I planned to use but.....they won't work. I have had quite a bit of experience with older engines but am not familiar with the new electronics of the LS1. I need some reference material but am not sure where to start. I really want to learn about and play with the engine so the more the better. I could sure use some guidance (and any advice you might want to offer) from some of you who are familiar with this engine. I also need a list of books and manuals that might help me. Thanks.

I have a '77 too and will be giddy to see some pics of a '77 C5. I'm building a LT1 400.
