LS1 Swap
I purchased an LS1 with an automatic transmission out of a 2004 GTO from Corvette Recyclers intending to put said engine into a 71 Datsun 240z and set the car up with paddle shifters. I drive an 87 Corvette convertable and got to thinking maybe I should use that engine/tranny combo in my Vette.
I did a forum search and found every thing under the sun but a thread related to an LS1 swap into a C4. Has anyone on here done that? If so, is there a build thread. Was it worth it?
Any info would be appreciated.

I have in my 93, but I did not make a thread about it.
Here is a thread for a 1991.
