Look up killerlux here on outers he can mod the loom for around $450 and you only have i think 5 wires to wire into the dash and thats it. For the comp powertorq in Brisbane http://www.powertorqueengines.com.au/ can tune it for you give them a call on price. You can go with Mark's Adaptors http://www.marks4wd.com/products/engine ... atrol.html or Dellow http://www.dellowauto.com.au/main.html for the conversion Marks is $1020 and the dellow is $550. The dellow is the better conversion imo the only thing is with the dellow you have to give the firewall a bit of a flog with a hammer to get the heads on the motor to clear the firewall.The other things you need to do to get the ls1 in is move the ac pump and alt to another spot so they dont hit the chassis Marks have all the stuff you need to do the job also you need to get a rear drop sump of a chev truck there is one guy on ebay selling them for $450 just have a look around on ebay you should be able to find him. The other thing is engine mount i went with custom made ones from Dale at 2dextreme as i have heard the ones from marks are not that strong.

andrew blair at alan blair autos can take care of the sequrity in the computer, or steve at killa kustums can get it done. if you don't want ac everything else can stay where it is. trailing arm type engine mounts are pretty easy to make.

give CRS a call (if they still do bellhousings for them) they do good shit. i had trouble with my dellow to ford V8 conversion... just wasnt right, i had to get the clutch throwout spacer machined and reposition the slave back further due to the throwout arm hitting the throwout cylinder body.
