Welcome aboard!
In 1990 they didn't make an LT1

If you mean another year then yes. Someone asks this everyday, it should be a sticky by now.

O sorry man. Just do a search. You'll find a lot. Also search for a guy named LT1Powered85Z, he's got a good write-up on his site. And check out Thirdgen.org they have all you need over there.

I put a 96 LT1 into my friends 82 Trans Am and a 95 LT1 into my 86 Trans Am.
Motors drop right in. wiring is the main issue. Custom harness is the way to go if you can afford it.
