The only "REAL" concern in my opinion is rust. All the rest can easily be fixed / upgraded. LSXMatt is excellent, I have been watching him for several years and finally started my swap in my 83 Z28 last summer. I had 770K on a 4L80E in my work van and it worked perfectly for years however, when I parted out the rusty van (for my LS swap LQ9 engine) the trans was as heavy as a V8, so I went with a "built" 4L65E much lighter and physically smaller. I to am waiting with baited breath on what Matt does, have a lot of respect for his work / ingenuity. Enjoy your build, cant save enough of these 3rd gens.

I have an 83 Z28 I'm working on as well. Is yours Crossfire also?
