I bought my old 93 Z28 back, now it needs some TLC

^ I also like the bushing. Also that throw out bearing should be just fine. Plus, they're around $70 to replace IIRC.

[mcalus]

How much for the pilot bushing? Any specific brand?

[ryanwarby01]

I have a Timken that was around $20.

Let me know if you decide to do the swap another time besides next weekend and ill be down to help!!

Edit: swapping the plate from the white car to the purple one so i can drive it until it sells so i can come down with the pmp twin!!

[white97z28]

sorry for the hijack but i'm also looking for a new pilot bearing or bushing and i cant find a bushing on summit that says it fits the LT1.

[mcalus]

@hoogiesngrinderz would I be able to drive with my stock a4 tune? At least to get it home?

[chrizar]

Should not be a problem, it may not run perfect but it'll run. Speedo will be all wacky etc etc.

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Yup, it will run. I'm not sure if LT1 computers have park/neutral and in gear tables like LS1 (manual LS1's have P/N and IG tables, but the P/N tables are for "clutch in" engine control)

I'll look at the LT1 bins tomorrow after work.

Awesome thanks! I just don't want to ruin something :/

Tomorrow ill start tearing into the interior. Removing the things I can.

I think one of the hardest things to remove will be the steering shaft.

Getting things ready as possible for the swap this weekend.

I need to get a U-bolt for the clutch master cylinder to bolt to the firewall. Suggestions? Dealer said there isn't one at a dealer in the world... My luck. Could I use a standard exhaust u bolt? Or does anyone know a replacement or the size of the stocker or even a pic?

This is about as far as I can get with keeping it drivable (to take to buddy's garage to use his hoist)




Anyone have some torque specs ill need?
Flywheel
Pressure plate
?

Where can I get the pilot bushing? My buddy works at carquest and said he can get the bearing for $28 but said that's all that was showing up.

[mcalus]

Probably a little early to be thinking about it but I have been debating on shift knobs. I loved my c6 in the 99. So comfy.

I made this in a machine class, different... I'd have to drill it and re tap it (bigger)



Also, as soon as the 6 speed swap is done ill probably do the ole lid conversion.

[mcalus]

Ordered a pilot bushing through rockauto. $18 shipped (hope I get it by Saturday)

Anyone have a cheap shift knob laying around I could buy or borrow until I order the C6 knob?

Hopefully ill get the dustshield from Patrick before this weekend is over.

Also need to swing out to Joel and get the upper center console.

Still need to figure out a u bolt for the master.

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Why couldn't you use two bolts for the master? That's what I did for my third gen swap...am I missing something with the 4th gen?

[birdie2000]

I've got a knob you can borrow if you're passing by.

Im willing to meet you part way on the upper console piece, but I am out of town until Monday!
