i'm looking at buying a 94 Z28. i want to do a LS swap but not sure on what i will need to do the project. the car has a 6 speed. here in MA everything 95 and older (pre OBDII) doesn't have an emissions test. i would rather swap the motor instead of buying a 98-02.

what parts are needed to do this conversion?

also what parts are needed to convert the nose to a 98-02?

i'm not sure on what motor i'm going to go with yet. i was thinking about going with a 5.3L just because it might be easier to find and be cheaper.

The 6spd in the car will not work unless modified but its more cost effective to sell it and buy the one you need. You will need the k-frame, steering rack and shaft, complete motor with front drive accessories, wiring harness & pcm, complete transmission including clutch, flywheel, hydraulics. If you went the 5.3L route remember that you would need an intake manifold, oilpan/windage tray, pickup tube and f-body wiring harness. More info in the link in my sig.

thanks for info.

i drove a 2000 T/A yesturday with a ls1 6speed and didn't like the car. i hate not being able to see the hood (i'm 5'7). so i'll probably go with a 3rd gen camaro instead. i also heard that is an easier swap. now i'm on the hunt for my 4th, 3rd gen camaro (only one of them was crashed).

Why in the world would you want a 3rd gen over a 4th???
I dont see how a 3rd gen would be any easier. You still need all of the assorted LS parts. No getting around that. Hell Im 6'3 and cant see most of the damn hood on my car. But I guess if its what you want go for it. Personally I would avoid the six speed. Go drive a auto Ls1 and see what you think.

The 3rd Gen will be a pain in the ***..a 4th Gen will be alot easier.

I swapped mine and I'm enjoying it..

Here is my thread, alot of good info in here, I pretty much cover everything..

every vehicle i've owned (85 camaro v6, 87 camaro lt 350, 88 mustang gt 5.0, 88 silverado k2500 6 lug 5.7, 79 z28 350 from the 87, 88 z28 305, 88 s15 with a 355, 93 corvette lt1, 99 silverado 1500 5.3) i could see some of the hood. i've driven vans because i'm a mechanic and hate to drive them because i don't see the hood. after seeing the lt1 in my vette i said to myself, i'm never going to get another lt1 again because of the distributor. also i would enjoy my vette more if it was a stick but i'm not going to make that the 4th auto to stick conversion. so far my best time with the vette is 14.17 @ 98mph with 2:59 gears and gets 30mpg around 68-70mph. i'm going to sell the vette mainly because it's not a stick. the only reason i got it was because i wanted to sell my s15 and i was offered to trade. probably have the vette in primer in a couple weeks, still doing some body work.
