Someone must make a conversion kit,a friend wants to replace the factory V6 with an LS1.I have already swapped engines in one of these cars;but it was LS1 to LS1 (kid ran original engine out of oil ). I am a 20 year auto tech and have converted many project cars but haven't done the V6 to V8 in one of these cars.Obvious concerns are engine harness,(wow the LS1 T/A that I did was never ending)computer swap? Any help or direction to a link would be greatly appreciated.This is a super clean '99 convertible firebird.

It's a direct swap, if you use the LS1 mounts and computer.
