getting a engine with 0-30k miles on it.. now what body's can I fit it in I already know the 97-02 firebird/camaro's but whatelse

 

actually you can "fit" it in ANY camaro or firebird....from the 60s on up.

seen it in mustangs, RX7s, S10s, GMC sonoma

what exactly do you mean "fit" it it? direct bolt on with no mods? cause everything will need a little work to get all things to function. unless you put it in a 98-02 fbody that originally came equipped with an LS1 and six speed.

i think your question is a bit too broad.

 

Going to be hard to find a f-bird/camaro that the LS1/6speed came out of how hard would it be to put it in a V6 version automatic of the car 90's and up? Also on the S10 that might be a better idea for me since insurance would be lower

 

to put it in a 3rd gen, not horribly hard. it's been done many times. search around here, there a some posts on it, and links to some good info.

but off the top of my head you'll need the wiring harness, new motor mounts, trans crossmember

if you've never done anything llike that mechanically...it may be over your head.

why would it be hard to find a camaro/firebird that had an LS1/6spd in it? or do you mean one that doesn't already have one in it?

 

All the LS1/6-speeds are either new and 20k or over 100k in miles... I found a V6 95 manual (5speed) camaro on ebay for $500 only thing not working is engine... and I know where to get a Ls1 engine with around 0-20k miles for around 2k-3k

what tranny is in the V6 5 speeds? and iv never done anything like this mechanically but I really dont care im going to college in a few years as a mechanic so might as well start learning now

 

the v6 five speeds were the T5 transmission...

they can only handle about 1/2 the power output of the LS1....so you'll need a new trans too.

 

And if you plan on using A/C you have to either get a new bracket or beat in the side ofyour car to fit the A/C components in a thirdgen

 

only need heat lol drive faster for cool how much are the brackets? if i ever need to sell it the car realyl needs ac

 

There's a walkthrough on some site. I think the bracket is just the Corvette version of the LS1.. I don't know the details. I remember reading about it a good bit ago. I believe the A/C won't clear the shocktower area, so you have to notch it out.

there's a really good write-up on some website.. search the forums (or TGO) for LS1 conversion in a thirdgen.

I'm assuming you're trying to do it to a thirdgen, anyways.. because you said 90's.

 

latest will be the 95... im looking only at the CURRENT well LAST MADE body style 95-02 (yes i know it changed alittle from 98-02) but im not going with the early 90's look

i'v also seen that lights, bumpers and **** can be changed out from the 98-02's and SS's to the 95-97's

 

and so LT1/LS1.. sorry I was talking about the Thirdgens earlier..

 

yep LT1/LS1's... but its probably going to be a V6 automatic.. or manual camaro and drop the manual and V8 in there

I was crusing the strip here in waco where everyone races at night.. saw some nice firebirds they where giving me the hateful ricer look (as all the muscles do) im no idiot and know perfectly well whats under there i tryed to ask a few what the mods under there hood was but they where to full of themselfs to talk to me ohwell ill burnm later with my camaro (rofl interbred fighting) I burned a few mitsubishi's though

 

just buy an Z28 or ss.. save headaches

 

probably be a cheap 98 Z28 or SS with the LS1 then that will need work, prob is they are pretty hard to find i need it cheap and im willing todo body work to it and replace the interior fully
