I would really like to convert my LT1 Transam over to an LS1 but I'm not sure what actualy needs to be done to do this... Engine mount modification, abs relocated? Has it ever been done before? I know it is probably an expensive proposition but this car has centimental value and I want some creativity awards... Any help or comments appreciated

 

Well I've had both cars and there is absolutely NO reason to do this. Unless you had a FREE LS1 and tranny and your LT1 was BLOWN. The LT1 is a HELL of a motor....

That all said you need

LS1 tranny and motor mounts (I think I'd make it an T56 even if your car is an auto, its an easy swap to a t56 and the computer and less computer stuff)

You need all accesories with the motor about the only thing you can reuse is the radiator.

You need a computer from a 98, 99+ will not work with interior harness. (I maybe wrong about the 99 but def 00+)

IT will fit with Stock hood there is a company on the internet that did it you may want to search for it and give them a call.

 

did you try to ask this in the LT1 forum? i asked about this in the LT1 forum and i was told that with the money spent on making this work, you could have a killer LT1 that would be much quicker. i like the idea of being "unique" though.
