Default Crazy Backwards Question LS1 K-Member w LT1

Just wondering if this is possible and who sells the parts? I have a 1994 Formula and want to install a 98-02 LS1 K-Member loaded. Is it possible to retain my LT1 Engine?

ls1 kmember and lt1 kmember are different i dont think any one sells parts to make them work. i think the difference is in where the motor mounts are.

why would you want to use a ls1 kmember?

Mine is rusted pretty good and I wanted the LS1 Brakes. So I thought I would install the LS1 K-Member. Just don't have the funds to keep the LS1 in the cradle yet. I could get an LT1 k-member and just add on my parts or save and get the tubular. Just seeing if it has been done or is possible.

ah i guess it makes sence. i think they are identical except where the motor mounts bolt to.

so you could still run ls1 spindles on an lt1 k member. but im guessing you want to replace the lt1 with an ls1 later.

Yes, you can run LS1 spindles on a LT1. That will work no problem....

There are all kinds of people that make mounts to use on LS1 engines to bolt them into older vehicles that had SBCs, so I would think that one of those types of mounts could possibly work.
