The machine work is done! The guts from the sikky shifter appear to fit. I'm going to do a test fit tonight to see how much, if any tunnel work will need to be done.

...another crappy cell pic. I'll get some with my actual camera tonight.

so the only reason people are wanting to run the nissan ecm along side the ls ecm is for stock gauges to work? What about ABS? is the nissan ecm needed for anythign else?

Would it be possible to only use the ls ecm and just run aftermarket gauges? I do not care to run a/c either

Ah, I should have looked at the pic first. The GTO block is plugged and uses the pan where the Vett just uses the block.

Yup this is what he told me:

"And yes your hardware kit should have included a 1/8 NPT Pipe Plug."
