my dads looking at selling his current Chevelle ('71 SS big block with a 700R4 we put in it) and try to find another nice 1 to put an LS1 and an A4 in it. doesn any1 have any info or know where i could get come info on doing the swap,what u need,etc etc. we're actually looking for a wrecked F-body to do the swap w/ so we'll have all the parts we'll need.

thanks for any help

 

I think that LS1tech.com has a section for retrofits.

 

how bout a step by step instruction with pics [url www.hotrodlane.cc [/url]

go to the "click here for past projects"

 

I second the vote for "hotrodlane". I owned a '70 and a '72 and they had lots of info on different things

 

It is a bit expensive but you can buy a crate motor LS1 with PCM; specifically made for retrofits into non-LS1 cars. I think there are several companies that are making wire harnesses for old muscle cars like you 71 Chevelle. Go check out the www.ls1tech.com forum like previously mentioned.
