49 Olds 88 4-door lq9/4l65e Ls swap

I Ls swapped my olds 88 with an Ls. The engine is an lq9 6.0l and transmission is a 4l65e both from a 2005 Escalade. I know some will like it and some aren’t going to but I tried to make it look clean and simple and I did it very afforably doing all the wiring and fab work myself.

if you like any info on how I did some things just ask. There’s a lot going on lol.

Nice colour choice. I would do a custom top cover, many of the high end builds make them. Or paint it. I did this on my Challenger.
