I am in the middle of one right now. The only 2 things that I need to figure out are A/C and ABS. Don't be discouraged bogus. As far as cost goes, My L98 gave up the ghost. I was able to sell my modded HSR and Heads, ETC.. for the cost of the engine and trans. LSX engines are getting cheaper.
Excellent. What year are you working with, Corvette wise? There is a guy here in SoCal, The Hose Man, or something like that, who can make a hose to fit anything.
The AC system, if pre 1990, should be fully standalone. ABS only needs VSS, which you should be able to satisfy through a Dakota Digital converter... I think they make one for this.

BTW I thought this was supposed to be a brainstorm not an argument.Let's focus on how we can do it and not why we shouldn't.
That's my contention. All I wanted was a DISCUSSION on the technical merits. I know the potential pratfalls and financial issues that can come from this type of work.
The best piece of info to come out is the nature of the LS3 vs the LS7. Good info, what I am looking for.
And the big one, the piggybacking of the two engine controllers.
