Head over to ls1tech in the hybrids section. There are plenty of guides and threads on this swap in there.

Bell housing is different along with other things.

4th gen fbodys are cheap, I'd personally just sell the LT1 and buy a LS1. I saw a cam'd Formula 6 speed for ~$5500 a few weeks back.

Re: lt1 to ls1 swap

The ls1 I'm buying is cheap and my get my money back from parting out the rest.
I checked the forums and i read everything I found about the swap but now basically I need to find a mechanic to do it for me im scared that If I did anything I might miss it up
