    I know i will need a pcm and a transmission. for the trans, i want a 4l80e.

    but what will i need to do with the obdI port, how difficult is it to change to obdII. will i be able to use my factory guages or should i use some aftermarket guages.

    if there is anything else im forgetting let me know please.

    thanks

    You'll need a wiring harness also. Electric fans are a must. You can use your stock gauges. You'll need engine mount adapters, basic items like radiator hoses, p/s hoses, electronic throttle pedal assy(unless you convert to earlier cable driven throttle body), fuel pump, wix 33737 fuel filter from a corvette. If you have a tach, you'll want a tach adapter module from bakerelectronix.com. Stock oil pressure gauge can be mounted where the new engine pressure gauge is installed or in the adapter fixture that is bolted on the oil pan just above the oil filter.
