Well first let me explain i am a race car fabricator with my own business, here is the plan of attack, this summer starting on a 79 trans am dmax ally swap, i have done many custom swaps so the basic cutting welding fabbing is second nature, what i need from everyone here is some input on certain things, for the most part what year is the best, i currently have an 03 LB7, would this be the motor of choice? finding a totalled truck and raping it for parts? or maybe just a motor tranny deal and collect the rest, any good sources on junk or totalled truck? does anyone have the dimensions of the engine itself?


any idea's appreciated


thanks John S

A stand alone controller would make your project much much simpler.

Eric why not just use a stock dmax ECM and harness, with the VATS turned off in an EFILive tune?

probably much cheaper than the EDC16 standalone....i think thats the one thats availible??
