I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the LT-1 engine is swappable with the later model LS series in the 1997 F-Bodies?

 

Could you rephrase the question?

 

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the later model LS series motor can fit in the 1997 F-Body?

PS: Sorry about the first post.

 

Sure, but a LOT more than just the engine needs to be swapped.

 

You will at the least need the LS1 k-member, engine, engine harness and computer, transmission (plus clutch if manual).

 

Then there's the issue of the LS1 running a dead end fuel system at 58psi, with the regulator back in the tank, vs. the LT1's recirculated system, at 43.5psi, with the regulator on the fuel rails. This could be resolved by getting the fuel rails from a 97 Corvette LS1, which did have a recirculated system, and an adjustable FPR.

Probably want front springs matched to the all-aluminum LS1's weight.

The list goes on and on.

 

Thanks Guys,
For answering my questions. I thought someone might have done a project like this and put up some step by step instructions somewhere. Thanks again guys.

 

There are numerous people that have done LS1 swaps, but I am not sure how much good documentation there is out there.

 

Here are a couple of links that might get you some info you are wanting:

There might be others, but I haven't checked in a while. Go to the "hybrids" section of the LS1tech.com message board

 

Thanks David for the information. This does answer some of my questions I had on this subject. I don't know why I thought that this could be done with engine, wiring harness, and of course ECU. That would be too easy. hehehe
