Default LS9 swap

Read the sticky thread at the top of the page on LS engine swaps. You will get an idea of what is involved.

Besides your shorts! Seriously, if you are going from a stock 82, you would need to change the trans, rearend, fuel system, exhaust, wiring...lots of little details. You would also need a taller hood to clear the supercharger.
