hey, I can do mechanics all day long. I am a pretty good welder these days as well. I just don't like having a stupid looking mismatched interior. Those little details that make you feel good when you drive something... I know if I get this motor, I would be moving the radiator forward, or moving the firewall back a few inches... My bigger concerns would be making a camaro LS1 motor work right. If I do it, its going to be a pretty heafty bill. Might be cheaper in the long haul to find a crate 350 with a carb and bypass any ECM headaches. I also have to look at what drivetrain I should use.
