Actually, thanks. Been running the LS1/4L60E combo now for almost 2 months. I went ahead and dropped in the LS1/pump unit assembly (although its been extensively modified) into the stock '73 tank and used a 3rd gen sending unit. Also ran the entire 4th gen HVAC system... That wasn't an easy task.

I must say, I have no more doubts after tonight. Took the converted '73 out tonight to the track and clicked off a [email protected] cutting a 2.2 60 ft using a STOCK LS1 with a STOCK 4L60E with 3.08 gears. Just has full exhaust and a custom intake tube setup for it, and the car has not been tuned for the additional airflow. It hits the rev limiter slightly on the 1-2 shift. Car weighed in at 3440 with 3/4 tank of fuel without me in it. Power windows, 8 way power seat, tons of sound deadening, air conditioning, sway bars, heavy 17" TT2's etc etc. Car was raced as is driven everyday, didn't even air the tires down. Got a ton of positive comments and questions on it tonight, was a real showstopper in the staging lanes. This car has EASY 12's in it with some traction. Pretty stoked.

That's so cool.. You did good Ian.. That project was a big one, and you did a fantastic job.

I have no "Chevy/Pontiac" issues with the swap.. It was a great Idea.
Kudos...
