LS1 to a 42LE transaxle

I am working on a custom build of a mid engine car. I have but a 42LE tranaxle
from a 2000 chrysler 300 onto a 2001 corvett LS1 motor. Does anyone know where
I could get some help with the wiring to make this set up fuction. I could
make it shift manually but that defeats the dream.

How about making it a bit easier and using the transaxle from a '06-'10
Monte Carlo or Impala SS with the 5.3 in it? Might need to do some
adaption with the converter but the wiring would be close to drop in,
just some custom ECM programming to make the 5.3 ecm control the LS1 engine.

i think that with a hybrid like this, since you can't get the vette
engine module to control the the chrysler trans, and you can't get the
chrysler module to control the vette engine so i'd say you're looking at
megasquirt/megashift for the whole thing.
