Correct!

No need to reinvent the wheel. K.I.S.S (Keep is stupid simple)

I expect full pictures of what plugs into where and what all the sensors on the LS are for and where they are located... basically anything and everything that will make my install go more smoothly. Thanks!!

on a sidenote, just found out with my pro performance intake or any other non-ls1 intake (such as ls2/6, etc) the factory ls1 coolant line connecting the 2 front ports to the 2 back ports will not work unles your grind the manifold (not reccommended) so an ls6 style setup is required, which simply blocks off the back ports and connects the 2 fronts together. you can find more info here

http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155716

i feel its little details like this that slow down builds, and if we can get a bunch of tips/tricks together, people can have their projects together and running quicker with less hesitation or trouble!!

+100 on that, especially since some of us are going to be DIY for the majority of the project. I can get the stuff in the car, its the wiring and such that will hold me back for sure.

Seems like there are a lot of LS builds going on right now. By the end of summer I'm guess there will be a lot of good info and write ups out there.

There is actually quite a bit of information out there already for swaps but the mods won't create a swap forum to help organize the information. That is why there are so many of the same threads on swapping LS's, 2JZ's, RB's, SR's, VR's and VH's.
