I just got done doing this to a 94 v6 camaro. You will need to get a different k- member, wiring harness, ecu, fuel pump and some other thing i cant remember right now ill think about it and let you know

I here ya on everybody tellin you to buy a new car, but do what you want. I spent 1k on the car and dumped as much into it that a 02' would go for and now i have a paid for car that runs low low 9's.

If any of you have any questions just pm me its easier to remember that way then I can just think of what I did.

Tubular k-members aren't really for DD use most people don't have a bad experience with them but some have them break. All you need the the center section not the lower/upper control arms most people are selling the center section for about $50 and the whole thing for $100 plus you need the mounts and stands also not very expensive to find used. And don't forget the ls1 steering rack and linkage.
