I haven't bought one yet. What condition, mileage, etc. are they in, and how much would it cost to ship one to 20876?

Also 05 LS2 in the GTO is a 24 tooth reluctor.

So the 1992 will still work, and slip right in? Correct?

Thanks

Check bell-housing to block bolt pattern. I thought there was a difference there between the gen II vortec bolt pattern and the LS_ engines.

Awesome, Thanks for the info. You guys have been great. I guess I need a M6 Crossmember to hold it, and a harness to shift it that connects to my TCM.

Picked up my 4L80e today, and ordered my LR4 block which should be here next week.

You are right. It doesn't. Apparently, what I have to do is switch over the 4L60e/4L65e shift rod and attach the switch. It doesn't look too bad.
