This is the week I here a 24K Trans Am running prior to being
parted out. The engine is the LS1 5.7 Alum, with 4L60E trans.
The idea is to place it in the 53 Chev Panel. There are
a couple of early trucks with this setup albeit very top notch
restos. The pic's show the engine compartment width being
small with the steering column knuckled off very high up
to reach the box or Mustang II setup.
Would this be a problem? I also noticed the inner fenders
are modified for the air con and alternator.
Looks a lot tougher than older small blocks for install.
