    I think it just plain hasn't been done on a Lumina...

    I think there was a RWD'd/LS1 GP though.

    Are you good at metal fabrication, do you own a welder, are you good at wiring ? If not don't mess with it.

    i have decided to do one of the two
    First option:
    L67 (already have another one)
    Firebird drivetrain
    manual?
    Auto?

    Second option:
    LS1
    Trans am drivetrain
    manual?

    wiring is the least of your worries.

    You can buy an LS1 with harness and PCM.

    if by that you mean use mitchell to make your own harness, yes, but the pig tails are expensive.
