no way in hell a r/r engine/trans takes 15-20 hours in an LS. You can drop the entire subframe, work on the motor/trans mounts out of the car, and put it all back in in WAY less than that. And that's the longer way...

Ok guys haven't had much time to get on here lately but I found a guy who's going to build my harness out of south Florida for 300$. A friend of mine sent his to him and it worked excellent. And there's a couple other places that are priced about the same. So I'm pulling the harness out the car tomorrow.

haha I was quoted more than that. The problem is ppl are scared of it cause they truly don't know how much work it's gonna be. I'd rather just do it myself.

I've thought about building a swap kit for this set up to sell considering Imma basically have to build one anyways lol. Just don't know how many ppl are actually interested in doing this swap.

unless you partnered with a vendor or paid to become one, you wouldn't be able to sell or advertise here.
