Summary
LS V8 conversion by Guinea Pig Racing with Tremec T-56 6-speed manual; partial service history covers work before the swap. Cold start needs ~1,500 rpm briefly as the standalone ECU interfaces with the original electric throttle. Odometer pixels slightly hard to read but legible; interior wear consistent with mileage.
