Planning on swapping LT1 for Ls1

[Orange Terror]

I'm calling dibs, lol

alright sweet. I would probably just take your motor then....would the ls1 bolt up to my 6 speed??

[BlackbirdWs6zzz]

hahaha......all these v6 birds want my engine!!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I'm definatly not an expert and Im sure someone else will chime in on this but I think it may bolt up without any problems. Do a search on LS1tech they have more information that you'll ever need.

I am not 100% sure on this but I believe the LS1 or any LSX motor will bolt up to the older tranny's. However, I think it uses a different converter. Reason being I am looking into them right now for mine and on Fuddle's site the fbody's are separated 84-97 and 98-02.

Go to http://www.hpsalvage.com/ or http://www.billygrahamscamaro.com/pages/1/index.htm

They both sell LS1s like Krispy Creme sells donuts. They'll have everything you need too.

alright guys! THANKS!

This is what one site said!

LS1 into a F-body '93 - '02 Parts needed:
LS1 and V8 Transmission (none of the F-body
V6 Transmissions will work behind the V8)
V8 Front Suspension Crossmember $150
(Each engine had different motor mount holes)
V8 Heater Hoses $40

Will need '97 Corvette fuel rails or rails modified by Street and Performance
to hook up the stock lines or an external pressure regulator.
Due to electronics changes from year to year and difference in V6 & V8 cars,
it is impossible list all the different changes and mods that would be required
to be made to install the LS1 in a V6 or LT1 car. Mileage on a fuel injected engine is not the factor that it is on carbureted
engines. The late model fuel injected engine is good for over 200,000 miles
because the fuel/air ratio is so precisely metered that the oil is not washed off
the cylinder walls during high load/low rpm and cold operations. Therefore,
the cylinder walls just dont wear out like they did with carburetion. This point
is brought home with the LS1 which has a maximum allowable cylinder
overbore of only .010 for '98 and 0.030 for '99-'02 and
with the Cadillac Northstar which has no oversized pistons available for it.

It also said that the T56 for LS1 has a different bolt pattern than the LT1 T56

[BlackbirdWs6zzz]

damn. Where does it say that? tear

[KILLERCAM94]

Click on specs

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Damn that sucks man. All the more reason to sells yours complete with trans and buy a built T-56 when you do switch.

[BlackbirdWs6zzz]

Yeah or hopefully i'll just find a motor with an attatched t-56 trans. It's NOT IMPOSSIBLE! or i'll just buy the engine and find a trans when i can. Who knows. Well thats depressing.

[BlackbirdWs6zzz]

Edit: Wait......this is not the guy DEtoirtMUSCULE showed me. I guess it's another guy who read my wanted post. hmmm. he might be asking alot mroe. didnt state price!

Good NEWS BOYS! that guy contacted me back. Said he had another 3000 mile motor from an 02 SS- never tinkered with, never messed with,intake to oil pan accesories,starter front drive system and i can pick from either an auto trans or a 6 speed. So thats what i'm going to do!!! WOOHOO! I'm GETTING MY LS1!!

now to get some of the essentials to make it ruN!

V8 Front Suspension Crossmember $150
(Each engine had different motor mount holes)
V8 Heater Hoses $40

Will need '97 Corvette fuel rails or rails modified by Street and Performance
to hook up the stock lines or an external pressure regulator.

Now does anyone know of an ELECTIRCAL CHANGES. I'll be looking but help would be apppreciated!
