Hey now I wish that's what I was doing! I was putting a motor in the 1994!

At the m&g




Post m&g



its crazy to think I have been "done" with this car for a year!

[meissen]

I bet - it's hard to go back and see what it looked like before compared to now!

thanks for bringing the driveshaft loop to the m&g.

I think... Possibly I have been thinking of swapping to a 6 speed....

Under 2 conditions-
first I want to see what it will run after I put a tire on it and get my shift points where they need to be.
secod I need to have this trans sold before I pull the trigger on a t56 and the remaining parts ill need.

also I still want to change my exhaust setup. I don't mind the loudness but still need to clean the tone up.

So if you swap it to a 6 speed, will you stop threatening to sell this thing?

Probably not bit it'll sell quicker lol idk I enjoy working on it. I need something to keep me busy

[birdie2000]

If you're really that bored, I have a bumper I need painted...

Seriously, a 6 speed is the only thing that car is missing. Good choice. I don't doubt in the least that it'll help it sell better if you decide to do it.

[white97z28]

Do it!! Do it!! Do it!!! Seriously you won't want to sell it if its a 6 speed, that's the only thing pushing me to sell my purple car!

[JoeliusZ28]

Swap it! And imo your car sounded great at the M&G but i only heard idle/low rpm

[mcalus]

What do you guys think is a reasonable price to sell my 700r4 for? Pro built 650 hp kit (all the goodies) revMax 3600.

what would it cost for all the parts for the swap? Obviously ill be paying more for it than what ill get for the 700r4 plus ill need a good clutch.

Thanks Joel. I love the sound at idle but it gets raspy and an awful tone cruising. I really need to get some small leaks taken care of too.

[mcalus]

Something else I was thinking about. I bet it's going to be a pain (if even possible) seeing that I have a 700r4. Won't I need a different PCM? What's the difference from a ls1 and lt1 t56? There is a "complete kit" to do the swap for $1900 on Craigslist. That's a lot of coin to drop

[birdie2000]

Don't know about the PCM differences, but I imagine it's something whoever did your mail-order tune could take care of.

LS1 tranny/clutch/etc. won't work on an LT1. It's probably going to cost $1500+ when all is said and done for the conversion. The trans itself usually goes for $900-1,100 the last time I looked.

That said, DO IT.

[ryanwarby01]

I know the LT1 uses a pull style clutch and the LS1 does not. Your pcm should be an easy change, but your wire harness might have to be modified.
