Can you be more specific about the state of the swap? Do you have an assembled longblock and mounts and all that good stuff already? How about some photos.

Just where in E. Kentucky are you. I'm in Cincinnati. I could help you out with your swap if you'd like. I run a part time shop here called PASS, short for performance automotive sales and service. I'm doing 2 starquests right now, one is a 4g64 wideblock conversion, the other is a g54b mpi conversion. I could get to yours in a couple of weeks if you're interested. And yes, you can stick a stick in it, no problem, i'd suggest using a gm bell and a t5/t56 out of a camaro/firebird for simplicities sake. let me know.
