hey guys i have a line on a 2006 c6 z06 complete engine and trans, harness and ecu......

now what might be needed to do this swap into my 97ss.....

any and all info would be great


thnx

 

I'm not too inclined on these situations however I believe for the price of the engine / trans / harness / ecu / misc stuff to properly perform the conversion ... You'd be spending the same just to go ahead and buy a new Z06...

 

actually the engine the trans and the harness and the ecu i have for 2000, so thats not an issue.....

all i need to know is what else am i needing....

 

GM High Tech Performance did the swap in a 99 Camaro a while back, http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...et_camaro_z28/ Here is an idea of what they needed to do the swap and the end result.

 

oh thats just so dirty it makes me smile lol

 

Prolly make it much easier to sell your LT1 and buy a LS1 since you would have to do everything that would normally be done for LS1 conversion.

 

my car means alot to me, so its not going anywhere..... id rather suffer with extra work, cause the sentiment is worth more then money to me

 

I don't know about this one but If you want it and have the means to do it go for it. If it was me I'd just build one hell of a lt1 with a turbo setup.

 

i have a 800ish hp lt1 turbo right now

this is just something i wanted to do as a project with a car that my father and i started to build

 

Definitely need the LS1 K-member. I guess that's where you start and go from there. Seemed like the magazine guys did it easily.

 

You know the trans-axle won't work in the F-body, right? Unless you have AMAZING fabrication skills?! But an LSx into an LT1 F-body ... that's been done before ... you should have no/few problems doing that .

 

i dunno, I don't see ANYONE getting rid of an LS7 for 2k. Even LS1's go for more then that, so even if the junk yard or whatever was mistaken, it would still be more then 2k

 

Ah, I understand... Sorry then... In that case keep me informed because I want to see how it comes out...

 

your right it should cost more then that.... alho when u have friends with $$$$$, he is going with the c5r block and build up so........
