Default lq4 swap into a 95 lt1

I want to swap a lq4 into my car. What all would I have to switch. Im worried about connecting the engine harness with the front end harness and the interior harness. Also will the lt1 rad and fans work for this.

will the throddle cables and cruise control still work what about the fuel lines and pump what mods need done there. thanks.

Fuel System will work fine, don't mess with any of the wiring in it, it's a seperate system. Find my Conversion Thread, it has all the info you need for the Fuel Filter/Regulator to use.
The LT1 Fans and Radiator will work fine, you will have to get an LS1 Harness and tweak it to get it to work, it will work without a problem.

Cruise Control will work, all you have to do is make a Bracket for the Linkage if you don't already have one for the Intake you are using. For the Throttle Cable, try and locate a NON TCS LS1 Throttle Cable, and switch that out with the one that you currently have in the Car.

What else is needed for the swap? LS1 k-member/mounts? Do the LT1 arms fit the LS1 k? Steering rack/shaft? Throttle cable?

I plan on going carbed so the wiring/fuel system is of little concern as i will be essentially ripping out everything that i don't need and re-doing it all per my needs.

You don't necessarily need a LS1 K-Member.. I used some Conversion Mounts.
You do need the LS1 Steering Rack and Linkage, and the LS1 NON TCS Throttle Cable you will also need.

If you get them, use the LS1 Brakes and Spindle Assemblies..they are a nice upgrade..

This is from your other thread BTW..
