94 LT1 swapped into 70 camaro
I have scowered the net, and I know that this has not only been done before but it has also been discussed in detail. I have found several threads that start the dyi process, but none that see it all the way through completion. I am looking for the most detailed (with pics) dyi write up for this "procedure". I plan on putting the motor from my 94 into my 70, but I will be putting in a 6spd tranny. The 70 is already a manual car, so I'm hoping that it should make things a little easier. I AM going to do this and I need to have the most informative resources. All and all help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Most of the work isn't that hard. I put a LT1 in my 69 but with a 4L60E. I haven't seen a complete write up from start to either. I would think the biggest hurdle for yours would be to hook up the clutch. Everything else is mostly bolt in. And if you go with a custom wiring harness that should make it easier as well.

Take a look at what Detroit Speed and Engineering has to offer. They have the K-member and all the suspension and mount things figured out and can help.
The 70 Camaro haso a mechaical linkage for the clutch which won't be much help with the T56's hydraulic setup. It can certainly be done..it just doesn't matter much that the 70 is a manual tranny.
The T56 is a huge transmission...you might just have to cut the tunnel to get it to fit. Again, no big deal, just an FYI.

I put a OBD1 with a 4l****tyE in a 92 2WD truck over the summer for a customer. I used this site for most all of it. It took a little time to interface the truck wiring with the Lt1 harness but the site had most all the info for the Lt1 side. Good luck and have fun
