83 Camaro, want to install 95 Caprice LT1

I have a 83 Camaro 5 speed with the 305 which is trashed. I also have a 95 Chevy Caprice Classic that has a LT1. I'd like to install the LT1 in the Camaro. My only stumbling block would be the ECM and all the wiring required. My plan is to use everything in the Caprice (electronics) to run the LT1. Has anyone done this? If so, I could use a little help and or advice. A Helms Shop manual for the Caprice would really help out as I already have the FSM for the Camaro.
This could be a fun project. Thanks for any help.

LT1swap.com has a lot of info that might help you. When putting a computer controlled FI engine into an earlier car, it's all about the same.

Post #1 in that 3rd Gen link has numerous links to threads with "answers". Did you not find the info you need in there?

Then there's this thread right here on the 3rd Gen forum:

https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/3rd...ite-up-474185/

At the bottom of that thread, you will see a list of related threads.
