[quote=WIDESIDE72;4545684]This thread is a WEALTH of information!!! I will be putting a 94 Caprice 9C1 LT1 AND 4L60E in my 55 1st series with an 85 S10 LWB chassis. I am sure that I will be coming back here often.

I have a question aout the Aveo guages. I assume that the spacing between them is different than stock, making in necessary to build a new pod in the dash (?) Would it be possible to separate the gauges to prevent having to build a new gauge pod?

Afraid not on the pod, your idea was what I had in mind to start. Then I received the pod and quickly saw I was in for moding the dash. If your 9C1 has the green hoses they are good forever (never to fail), I found this out on a impala website when I googled LT1 reverse cooling. If you hadn't got one already, order a after market transmission cross member like 50 bucks. It will make for little work and easiler tail pipe routing.
