    I like the decision of cable throttle with Efi, haven't seen that done with a swap yet. Manual would be my choice but 4L80 will give you lots of upgrade potential.

    Did you have to modify the transmission tunnel to fit your ls transmission ? I want to get a chevelle and ls swap it , but i wanted to know if it was a way around the body work that i have seen others do on their channel to fit their transmission.
