Yeah I understand. I also mentioned it for the OD factor over the TH400.. He mentioned that first gear is way too long also..

I'm just going on GM history but it would make sense that they would keep them the same. You could take an old 70's small block car with a Muncie 4 speed and bolt that tranny to a 454 with little to no problems. Changing bolt patterns adds cost so that's not exactly something a company would want to do. The LS engines are what, 13 years old? They kept the same tranny/engine bolt patterns basically the same up until the LT1. Honda did the same thing with their B series engines as you would swap a B16 transmission with the B18 (so if any hondaphile things Honda was the originator of that, smack them). Of course, I've been out of the chevy way of life for a while so don't take my word on anything. I just don't see any logic in changing them around after such a short period of time.

Or, I just made a complete fool of myself...

a rough figure is 3-4k for a used ls3
conversion adapters 300
new TB (300-400)
pcm costs (wiring if needed and or replacement (200-300)
other things missed or needed to be replaced (300ish)
