what's up everyone? what all is involved in putting an LS1 motor into a 93' z-28 or a 95' camaro? has anyone done this and if so, with what kind of results? what has to be done in order for this to be done? your feedback is much appreciated. thanks.

Not worth the trouble. Just build the LT1 or trade for an LS1 car.

 

If you don't already know, you'll have to replace both the motor and the tranny. Other than that and the wiring, I don't see it being too hard of an endevor. I know a few people have put them in 3rd gens, so you might want to ask them. Other than that, look into any size differences.

You'll also need the radiator out of a LS1 car.

 

EXACTLY...
I have a friend that did an LT1 swap into his 94 Firebird...
There is a lot of work. He replaced the Motor, Trans, Rear End, Fuel System, Console (A4 ~ M6), Brakes, Dash Cluster, etc... Etc....

Just buy an LS1, or build the existing 93 LT1 to smack around an Stock/Mild LS1

 

you would also need to replace hood...to my knowledge the LS1 will not fit under a stock LT1 style hood....it's not worth the swap, there's too much involved....even if you swap motor, tranny and computer, there's still suspension, brakes etc....

 

You have an almost brand new LT1, build it up and forget about the LS1

 

Why would he replace suspension and brakes? He already has a V8 car. The way I see it, all you need is LS1 motor and trans, ecu, and radiator.

 

do u really want LS1 power and LT1 brakes???

 

Also the K-member is different.

Don't think it's going to be faster, or cheaper, if you are fine with that, then go for it.

When I had my a4 LT1 car, everyone said that I was crazy for swapping out the a4 for a m6. I did it anyway, and never regretted it. Would it have been faster as an a4? yes. Would it have been cheaper to rebuild the a4? yes. Did I want an a4? no.. Now I autocross and road race, m6 is better. Just do your homework before tearing into it.

 

i don't know guys. i'm still kind of unsure of what i should do. if not an LS1, than what should I do? your suggestions are greatly appreciated. thanks.

I say go with a custom twin turbo set up on the LT1.

 

big money but this would be SICK!!!!!!!
