Electricity will flow from positive to negative like any other setup...

Good stuff!!.. if you can find a good ls2/tranny combo for cheap this would be a good upgrade. This swap is so tempting.

There's a *LOT* of engines out there that are in the LS family that aren't directly named "LS(?)", which can often be had for FAR less money than something named thusly.

Like the L33, all-aluminum 310/325 5.3L from specific models of Chevy trucks (many of the 5.3's are iron-block, and about 65-70 pounds heavier than the aluminum versions, so do your research if you go this route), LS family, all LS bolt-ons work just fine, same mounting patterns, T56 and all the other standard transmissions bolt up like any other.

Or the L76, basically an LS2 (6.0L, all-aluminum, 367/375 rated from the factory) with the same origination as the L33 above.

As a self-proclaimed cheapskate, I'm doing plenty of research into this arena.

great, keep in mind that these are designed to work with our mount kit only and we can't guarantee the fit unless it is used with our mount system. These are on the shelf ready to ship when you are!
