All good.

My LS3/4L70E swap into my ‘64 Tempest was/is a royal pain. I wanted a lightweight V8 engine with EFI and an overdrive automatic and that was really the only economically feasible route to get that. Sometimes wish I would have left the original 215 (Chevy based) six cylinder in it but……430 hp beats 140 hp any day and both consume about the same amount of fuel doing that.

Good luck.
