LT1 Th400 swap questions
Ok guys here it goes... I did the read the Th400 swap thread but it all seams related to LS1. I just picked up a 95 Z28 with a shot 4l60e in it. I already have a bone stock Th400 short tail that I want to swap in. I also have the proper length Spohn driveshaft and a body mount TA setup.
What I did not pick up from the swap thread was do I have to do all the same things for a LT1 based car. Like the shift cable mod should be the same as a LS correct? But the Torque convertor setup as far as the pilot length and flexplate placing, what do I use for these? Can a regular Th400 Convertor work? And will the engine run fine, minus the check engine light for the trans sensors?
Any help or other links appreciated
