Nope. Next question?

Partially joking. Check out the conversion section of ls1tech-this forum is pretty much a waste for any ls swap help.

The swap is pretty easy, you just drop in an LS engine instead of a SBC. The worst part is converting the old electronics to the new stuff. I did my car about four years ago.
