I have a 94 z with a lt4 383 stroker, built 4l60 with 3k stall, ford 9 inch that is now my wifes so I want to make it a more dosile drive line. Have a line on a low mile 95 lt1 vette motor and trans I would like to swap and sell what I remove. Is this doable and what are the challenges.
Thank you all in advance

The Corvette uses a ZF (German) 6-speed. You may have to build a custom trans cross-member, cobble up clutch hydraulics, and see if you can get the shifter to poke through the stock console. Hopefully it fits in the tunnel. May need to go with a chassis mount for the torque arm. Check the DS yoke slider for compatibility. Probably need a custom length DS, so you can include a ZF slider. Don't know if any of the few people left on this site have done the conversion.

Has a skip-shift feature, but you wouldn't hook that up anyway. You will need to see if it has a reverse lockout system, and whether it's compatible with the F-Body PCM. Then figure out if the VSS setup (# of reluctor teeth; or drive/driven gears) is compatible. Don't know where the reverse light switch is on the ZF. On the T56 it's midway on the passenger side of the trans.

Technical information on the ZF 6 speed

The engine has a few differences. Water pump connections are different.

Not sure if the Corvette accessory bracket is the same. You will have sensors that don't need to be hooked up - oil temp, oil pressure switch, 2nd knock sensor

95 4L60E is PWM lockup and has a different electrical connector. Off the top of my head the best way to deal with it is probably to add a wire and the 95 connector to your car and use the 95 tune but it's been a while since I looked at that so you'll want to google this situation.
