Now lets talk trans seeing if your going to a carb your more then likely on the more hard core side and will be using a th350,th400 or glide...only the th350 will work with stock drive shafts..the 400 and glide will need custom made ones.

If you are going to run a th350 trans you will want one with a 9" tail shaft on it(these where used in 70s/80s vans and trucks)

bmr makes trans mount bracket that lets you either use the stock auto's tq arm or they make one for about 50$ cheaper that is just the trans mount with out the tq arm mount on it..If you got a after market tq arm that mounts to a cross bar then you would want that or if you had a 6spd.

Now also remember th350,400s and glides converters have 2 different bolt spacings meaning some are ment to be used on a flex plate that has 11.50 pattern or some have the other 10.75" pattern..

the stock lt1's flex plates are 153 tooth,externaly balanced 1pc rear main seal and have 10.75 pattern on them..least mine is/was(i learned this the hard way but needed a sfi plate anyways so it wasnt a big deal)

this is the plate i have now and is set up for both bolt patterns

NOW seeing your converting over and now will me running a none electonicaly controled trans an motor you will be looking at the stock wireing and going man i need to trim this up..its easier to just buy a wireing kit and rewire the whole car vs trying to go threw your harness 1 wire at a time not to mention gm was slick and some of them wires are tied into 3 or 4 different things so one bad snip and your done for..

This is the kit im using to do my car(all but my fuel level gauge is mechanical,an my windows are perm up for now)..its very simple and straight forward..you could rewire your whole car in a day really an thats the avg joe..some stuff would take longer like having all electronic gauges,getting your power windows figured out..you know.
