Default Going to do an LS engine swap in the Nova

The transmission is going out in my Nova and this has caused me to reevaluate the car and what I do with it. I decided the high compression 406 needs to go. I pick up my engine and trans tomorrow. I found an '09 LY6 6 liter with it's matching 4L80. They are coming out of a GMC van which has 88,300 miles. They are including everything from wiring to driveshaft yolk and all front accessories and gas pedal. It was a light right side and rear damage van which made me comfortable. The miles is high for an 09 in my opinion but I figure it's better than out of a truck that has been towing or pushing snow. The complete package was $2500. Hopefully this was a deal, it seemed like it after looking online and calling the local reputable yards.

I am going to hang at least 1 turbo on it but those details will pan out over the winter once I get everything for the swap.
