the 2001 is just a special edition, it wasn't until 2002 that the 40th anniversary Grand Prix's came out. I thought you were swapping a 5.3 LS4 when you said you were converting the LS to an SS. The 3800 is cheaper and easier to mod than the LS4. People seem to have trouble modding cars in California because of the emissions standards, maybe you keep it registered in a different state? I worked in aviation for about 10 years, but got tired of it, so now I'm a full time student and am learning a new trade in Human Resources.
I have a 2001 Special Edition.
