A mate did the LS1(5.7?) and auto in his gq shorty.
He bought a v8 auto wagon wreck and stripped it.
He used the existing engine, auto, wiring lume & computer, wiring it in series though his gq ignition. The commodore key & barrel was secured under the dash in the ignition & commodore dash cluster was moulded into the gq dash.
He made engine mounts & other bits etc but pretty sure he used marks adapters to sort the transfer issue.
Also had a 2" body, 4-5" suspension lift & 35's.
Once he bad everything in & it running, he scrap metalled the car & sold all the remaining gear, including the 4.2na & 5 spd
I must say, it did go quite well indeed.
