    do this.. not worth doing the swap.. especially putting a LT1 in a car newer then 97.. you would be way better off selling this one as a roller or putting the motor back in and selling it complete and buying a diff car.

          Another person who did a swap here. Sell it and buy what you want, came in way over the $$$ and time budget. You will get nickel and dimmed to death.

          And why in gods name would you try and put an lt1 in anything newer than 97. That is an electrical cluster-**** waiting to happen. I beg you, dont do it. Theres enough wires and crap to deal with just switching v6 to v8 same year. Not to mention you be swapping a cluster at a bare minimum as the 98+ cars clusters work off the data bus of the PCM, there is no individual wire for each gauge, 1 wire runs all the data to the cluster. Not possible on the lt1 PCM.

                Don't waste your money or time. Sell that thing and just buy an actual LT1 car.

                      $5,000.00 is not exactly dirt cheap.
