i was wondering what exactley would be involved in putting a ls1 in my car other then the ls1 k member? would the cooling system have to be modified, brake cylender, fuel system, wiring, computer, steering,... etc?

thanks

Your best bet to do this swap would be to have a LS1 donor car. That way you can get everything you need from it: motor, radiator, wiring harness pcm, and may other parts.

For what it would cost to do this swap I'd go with something differenet. The HP gain isn't that great when you consider all options available.

unless you can get everything cheap, id consider the 383 lt1 replacement or rotating assembly.
