    Great timing with those ls1-e30 kits for sale on here now. I might be interested...
    How much do you think a trans will run me?

      Average prices on T56's seem to be around $1500. If you're lucky you can get em for $1000, but I never seemed to have money when those deals came around. :(

      LS1 swaps tend to be on the expensive side since there's so much custom work involved, but with Garret and his dad making the swap parts, you might be able to get it done for 5 grand-ish.

        It's still a bargain when you think about it, even at 5k...but always figure it will cost more than you plan ;)

            damn, too bad the rest of the swap is too far out of my PR, local who would love to have a V8 E30.

                The only numbers I found on the heads are 241. Didn't see anything on the block. There were some stickers with barcodes on em, though.
