Hey AJM the hardest part was to wire in my doors and headlights oh yeah and the brake pedal positioning sensor that goes to the brake lights and brake assist system. Other than that I saved myself 6k from a guy in Cleveland where I bought the Motor- Trane form. That's what he wanted to charge me to do the swap and not to mention shipping my car from Cali to Cleveland. Fun Project though!!!!!!!!

To a fellow Monte owner no problem. I may even have some extra parts that I recieved whil making my purchases. Let me put together a list of the parts and what I have that I'll sell you at a super reduced price. Depending on the people you deal with it should be around $5-$6K but like I said I bought extra and got sent extra sometimes so the cost may vary. Anything I can do to help just let me know, and the first bit of help is to give you this connection MORAD PARTS Co. in Cleveland, Ohio ask for Erik or www.moradpartscompany.com he is a great guy to work with on this swap.

Thanks Bama_Z34 I had the same model before I bought the 01 Monte. I even had the same rear spoiler kit. Loved that car. Hope you get a chance to do it to it with the LS4 very strong and responsive engine.
