When you were doing the switch, did you have to do any modifications or was it a clean swap over? Because we are trying to do the exact same switch.

@CoutureCalii frame is a exact fit, But you need to use the body bolts from the car you took em off of, ex : the 77 body bolts will not fit the 94 body .

nice work! I have a 77 coupe with a 402 bb and stock 2.41 gears, 65mph in first, over 120 in 2nd but small brakes and suspension so I am expecting to break that soon but have 95 caprice wagon that I think has a full boxed frame. any idea if thats compatible?

Love your garage and how it's set up. I'm doing a 1978 Malibu 2 door LT-1 Swap with the 4L60E and everything out of a 94 Roadmaster wagon I bought for $500.00 Everything works on the wagon, just can't get it on the road as the frame is rotted at the Lower Trailing Arm on the Driver's side and the fender wells are gone too. So it's harvest time for my 78. Props to you on the 89 9C1 as well. Hope you have a good time and work safe.
