    A reco Trans would be ok as long as you dont go too bananas on the loud pedal.
    Weight is no issue, I've done heaps of rr and disco chev conversions

    I think the 24 is a fair wack larger than the 22, so hopefully should've alright, cause will most likely end up with an eaton m122 supercharger, locked diffs and large tyres

    One question for the owner, is it engineered?
    If you are an interstate purchaser rego might be a hassle.

    I thought they only had alloy heads on them.
    Do you have to get this engineered if you put another make of V8 under the hood?

    LS1 and LT1 are different creatures, IIRC the LT1 has a cast iron block...
