hey all, it's been a while i know...but that's only cuz my camaro's in jersey and i'm in TX...so i havent really had a need for the site. but i'm working on getting it finished soon and hopefully havent pissed anyone off by not being here.

any way, to the goods...or needs.

basics:
97 camaro, lt1 with manual t-56.

needs:
ls2 gto transplant info.

i need to know everything i'll need. here's what i KNOW. ls1 k-member from 98+ trans/Z. i'll getting a pullout that's including turnkey engine, trans, harness, and pcm...so i have those. i'm running my ltx k&n, suspension other than k frame, and i'm using my ltx alum. driveshaft.

do what fuel setup will i need? 97 vette? custom rails?

what trans tailshaft adapters will i need? is the GTO the same as camaro or can i use my camaro's tailshaft adapter?

will the accessories from the GTO fit directly or do i need the camaro's ls1 accessory brackets?

can i use the lt1 trans mount/cross brace?

is the lt1 radiator sufficient for the ls2?

will i need a different fuel pump?

stuff like that? i know it will fit, and i know i need the lsx k-member to make it fit. but what else?

oh, and i did search both the ltx and the lsx forums. thanks for your input

 

noone knows anything about taking a GTO drivetrain and putting it in a camaro or firebird?

 

ok, for those who want to know, here's what i found.

camaro oil pan
knock sensor extension or conversion
maf extension or conversion
if converting from ls1 then you'll need a ls1 crank reluctor ring (yes, rebuilding the engine)
injector harness adapter or a ls1 fuel rail and injectors.

i'll be using teh oem wire harness from the gto, so i wont need most of this. and i havent figured out if i'll need the tailshaft from my 6-spd trans yet

 

Not likely to find a lot of responses in "LT1/LT 4 Engine Tech"...... let's move it to "General........"

 

ok, didnt know where to put it. i know it's lsx but it's an ltx car...

thanks

 

I'm in the process of getting an ls2 drivetrain from a 07 trailblazer ss in my camaro wish I could tell you all thats involved but I payed a shop to do mine.
