I have found a 1997 firebird with a 3800 V6 and a 5 speed in it. The motor is junk in it but the tranny is good and the rest of the car is NICE. Its bare, no options like p/w or p/l. I was wondering what it would take to put an LS1 in it or would i be better going with a LT1 in it? I tried to do a search but didnt have alot of luck.

Any input would be great, thanks,

i would do the ls1 swap its not to hard just use a 98-02 front k member

I'd make a list of what all you would need in parts and such to do the swap and then add it up. Might be more cost effective to just buy a 98-up LS1 car.

your time is worth money too

if you can get the 97 cheap i would do it. i put a 00 ss ls1 in my 95 ta. you do need a 98-02 kmember.

i doubt that 5 speed would be able to handle an ls1

if your going LS1 just get a tubular aftermarket K-member and be done with it
