Bought a LT1 for my 67 - Questions
Ok, so I picked up a LT1/4L60E combo for a winter swap into my 67 Sport Coupe.
It comes with brand new Hedman headers, all the accessories and a painless wiring harness (which I'm not convinced will actually work well for my swap).
The main thing that I'm missing is an ECM.
Thing is - the guy I bought it from says it's out of a 96 Z28.
How do I know for sure?
If that's true that it would have had OBD2 to start with. Is there any reason why I couldn't just buy any ECM (OBD1) and make it work? Would I have to stick with OBD2 for some reason that I can't think of?
I also want to do the engine seals, except for the head gasket. Is there a kit available or should I just buy things individually?
While I've got the engine out I also want to do a cam swap.
I'm not going to be emissions restricted and I'm looking to make a whole bunch more power - can anybody recommend a good cam that would be decent for the odd time daily drive also?
I'm painting the LT1 orange to make it better look like a retro/newer swap, I think it will be cool.
Going to top it off with the Corvette engine covers also.
I can't friggin wait to dig in!

I would use a 94-95 PCM. OBDI and cheaper to program. You also would have less emission things to worry about.
Use the VIN derivative to find the year model: http://shbox.com/1/block_vin.jpg

Valve covers, fuel rail, heads, ancillaries will tell you what kind of car it came from.

If you're going pay somebody to reprogram it, more people can program the OBD2 (96-97)
If you're going to reprogram it yourself, it's cheaper to program the OBD1 (94-95)
