Welp, just picked up a 1981 trans am roller and a 4.8 short block. Going to try and get all the parts gathered up and do the swap in a weekend back home. I live 8 hours away from where the car is and where the swap will be done. I think ive got everything, but the harness figured out. Should i make my own or buy one? If buy one, where from? If make my own, does anyone have a diagram? Will post pictures as soon as i can.

After i get the swap done and running itll get a cage and ill work on fabbing up a turbo setup for it.

Long road ahead but cant wait

 

Nelson performance has the best harness I believe

 

Sounds like a sweet project. 8 hours? Dayum! That would suck. Hope it goes together smoothly.

 

i hate you right now! almost got me a 92 GTA and was thinking this yeah im hating and what? JK JK good stuff man!

 

tell you what...straight trade the trans am for your truck lol

But im getting excited about it, about to start a new job and gonna make some pretty decent money so hopefully itll move along semi quick lol. I doubt itll happen but im really wanting it done by march

 

that's a good project. i want a late 70's to 80 camaro or TA with an LS someday...have fun

 

get it done then we can trade youll do me a favor taking over the payments lol

 

Yea its gonna be a long road but still fun lol. Im thinking about putting the turbo trans am badges on it lol. Would fit nicely after its done
lol

 

Once you get the TA start posting pics!

 

a buddy of mine has a turbo t/a pace car that's just sitting there dying for someone to swap the 301 out for an LS-something
