ok, im wanting to replace my LT1 with a new LT4 engine.... how hard is it to pull an engine out of our cars, and hook another one back up, and put it back in the car?? can i use the same wiring harness? will it bolt right up (its the same block so i cant see why it wouldnt)? those type of questions..also, if anyone has a sight that can put into detail how to take an engine out, i would LOVE to know what that sight is.... tks...

o and would anyone buy my other engine? and at what price (95,000)?

 

idk any site that talks about taking a motor out, maybe check a chiltons or something
google "removing an LT1" im sure you'll find something.
you have to take the car off the motor, u cant take the motor out of the car

What do you feel you would gain with an LT4 engine that you couldn't achieve by simply building up your LT1 engine? Where do you feel you will find a "new" LT4 engine?

An eportworks LT1 head/cam package will blow the stock LT4 engine away for less than 1/2 the cost.

 

i was just looking at havin the new engine... my lt is at 95000 miles, so... thats really the only reason i was looking to get a new one...

 

Where are you going 2 find a new LT4 engine??
And Imo it be better and cheaper just to build up your lt1 and in the end you have more power and id be cheaper.

 

So you engine runs fine, and you want to replace it with a marginally better one for about 4grand?

 

Whatever you decide to do, take pictures of the accessories and wiring routing before you take stuff apart. It will make it easier to figure out how to put it back together if it winds up taking you longer to finish than you planned.

I wish I had taken more pictures....

 

my LT1 has 150k on it, and im gonna build it and race it until it blows up, and then build it even better
if i were you, i would just drive it til something goes out, and then do a performance rebuild

 

that does make more sense lol... i priced some different parts (performance and such), but idk what they will give me numbers wise (hp/tq and quarter) so..

 

The best thing you can do is to look at the parts your considering and then do several searches on here. Then when you think you've read everything, do another search and read more.

Start out with the basics, exhaust, intake, heads, cam etc. Not only will this build your confidence, you will get a firm grasp on what you can handle. If you go out there and try to do heads and cam without ever having turned a bolt on the car you could discover this is more work than you thought it would be.

Reading and research in general is your friend, you'll find that 90% of the time the answer to your question has been covered a dozen times all you have to do is liberally use the search function.

Yes I know it takes some work, but so does this hobby, get used to it lol

 

ya know.. ive done the exhaust, intake, gears, and underdrive pulleys all myself so im learning... also ive restored a 66' mustang so ive kinda got a grasp on the small things... thats why im thinking about moving onto the cam part of the spectrum...

 

I pulled mine through the top Forget all that drpoing the k member crap and I did it in a weekend, started friday after work drove new engine to work on monday and had the ac recharged
