Question lt1 swap

Since my first post asking about this I have recieved all the information about the swap i need, but now that I am thinking really hard about it, my camaro has t-tops.. and im worried that even with subframe connecters, its going to twist with all the new torque.. and then t-tops leak.. doors won't close right.. I was just wondering if anyone might have some input on this.. thanks everyone who helped me get the info i needed.

My LT1 has t-tops and no SFCs, so why should you worry?

If you are set on doing it,go ahead.Sub frames will help a lot.I recommend that you go find a car with an LT1 in it already and save yourself a big headache and a lot of dough.If you are going to do it why not go all the way and drop an LS1 in it.Just my opinion.

I know that many camaros have lt1's factory with t-tops and ls1's to... but my dad who is a ASE master tech thinks they did extra frame work with the lt1/ls1 t-topped camaros factory.. and i really don't know.. maybe there is a website with body information? i don't know.. but I was sure it would be fine

How about asking a body man, far as I know, the LT-1 and the LS-1 are unibodies....just like your car! Get some SFC, Roll Cage, strut tower brace, etc.
