Um its easy as fuck man. More like an hour or so. All you are running is a couple of damn wires from the ecu. Hit me up and if you are local i might be able to get it done for you.

There shouldnt be more than a couple more, if that many. use what you need, then plug the others with caps.

well the motor i got is a nice motor clean and low mileage...but the dizzy wires where all cut and spliced together. Its got MSD ignition on it. and i drove the car with the LS in it to my house before the swap. So i hope its not something i did. I just dont have much time to work on it during the week cuz of day light. i get home at 6. but ill get it....hopefully. Thanks for all the help
