Hi Rob - I am doing the same thing. I am at the collecting parts stage. I just picked up a Extreme Transmissions 2004R and a converter from TSP which are my last "big" items. Seems like there is more information on the V8Buick forums for this swap. What transmission have you been running? Have you changed gear ratios in the rear end?

I am using a stock flexplate and a TriShield lock up TC. They also sell a nice SFI flexplate.
