3.4 M5 to 5.7 A4 swap--- Whats needed?
 
I got two cars one is a
3.4L 1996 M5 convertible Camaro
and the other is a
5.7L 1996 A4 Ttop Camaro

The LT1 car is wrecked in the front, but has all the wiring intact.

What all do I have to change over from the LT1 car?
Do I have to change inside wiring? Steering column? What about the fans? All of the AC?

I know I have to swap the pedals, PCM, gauge cluster, Transmisson, gas tank and maybe fuel lines. I am going to change the rear because it has disc brakes, so I might have to change out the brake components and lines as well.
I have a brand new radiator for it.

You will need the K-member from a 4th Gen LT1. May need beefier front springs.

There is a "sticky" on the V6 Tech forum that covers swaps.

ahh. I hope this k member is ok. I know something is wrong with the a arms because they are bent expecially on one side. The other side may be ok but the shock was broke. The spring is in a bind hopefully its not bent. The side that has the bent a arm has a strait spring.

I noticed the 3.8L I have looks to have the same dual fans. The ones on the LT1 car are broke.

I'll check the V6 section also thanks.
