So I know fbody accessories are needed to fo the lt1-ls1 swap. Just wondering which accessories are able to be re-used (if at all) from a 5.3 engine? I konw the waterpump is swappable (i think?), but what about the others? Finding a power steering pump is insanely hard AND stupid expensive.... I've tried searching, and google, but couldnt find anything.

I saw someone posted that they kept their stock lt1 engine using adapter plates and mounts. Just wondering who it was and where they are from??

Have a 98 harness being converted, do I HAVE to use a 98 only computer or can I use something other then that. If so would ANY computer work???

dont think you can use anything from the truck 5.3. the crank pulley is offset diff than the f body so you will have to use all f body parts i think. as far as the computer i think you have to use the 98 computer with a 98 harness unless something is changed in the harness to work with the 99-02 computer. but i am not sure on what it is that is diff...maybe someone else will chime in...

Everything needs to be changed, the truck stuff sticks out further, im using a truck harness (2001) with a 99 f-body pcm, most stuff seems the same on them, some wires are differenct colours but no biggy.

i'm doing the same thing also using 98 harness and pcm, you'll need all the f-body acc. as stated.
