Well I bought another motor out of a 99 Camaro(heads cam) and I need to know what I can reuse from my 98. I bought the long block minus waterpump, pulleys, timing cover, and intake. I am going to swap over all my accessories and oil pan, timing cover. I have a LSX intake for the motor but I believe I need to buy coolant lines, and or plugs to swap from an ls1? I think I need a crank seal and crank bolt too? Do I need new gaskets/seals for timing cover and oil pan and waterpump? Also I have 93k miles on the old motor, can I go ahead and reuse the header gaskets? Is there anything else I need or am forgeting? I want to have everything I need ready for the motor swap.
Thanks,

Jesse

Yes, you'll need the coolant cross over pipe and the rear coolant plugs.

Thunder Racing has the crank seal and crank bolt, as well as the timing cover, waterpump and oil pan gaskets.

The header gaskets can most likely be re-used.

You'll need to swap your coolant sensor from your 98 motor to the new motor.

So what all do I need off this page? Do I need a rear seal and rear cover gasket??Is the front seal the crank seal??

Can I get the coolant pipe and plugs from Thunder too?

I don't think so, but here are the part #s you'll need, also, don't forget the crank pulley bolt.
Part #s for coolant tubes and plugs:
1x 2001+ front coolant pipe - #12568478
2x 2001+ rear coolant plugs - #12562788

Also, since the motor is out of the car, go ahead and do the LS6 PCV Valley swap, all part #s and install is here:

Thanks Cannibal! The ls6 valley swap is something I have heard about, but wasnt sure what it was or what the benefit is?

It reduces PCV oil-blow by so oil isn't sucked into your intake and into the motor
