New engine

[ND92]

Well I went and had lunch with my mechanic today to discuss my options and we are going to do the LS4 swap. It's a solid engine with very big after market support. We just need to address the starter issue and the wiring and electrical. We decided to go the LS4 route mainly because the northstar has its expensive head gasket problems and the stock 3.5 will cost me almost $8000 not including install (gotta love the low gas prices EH?)
So if anyone has any advice on the electrical front, it would be greatly appreciated!!
Hope to have a thread up and step by step on the swap as soon as I figure out the wiring.

...I imagine you are taking on that sort of project? Do you have a $30,000 budget for this? Am I reading your thread incorrectly?

That project is a little different considering they put in an Ecotech which is quite a bit more money than the LS4. They also put in a 4L60E and new transfer case, I will be retaining the stock 4L30E and Borg Warner transfer case.
A slightly used LS4 runs anywhere between $800-$3,000. It's the labour and wiring harness that will be the most costly but my mechanic has told me that it won't run me $8,000 like it would for a new- stock motor
