Default Swapped 3rd gen guys chime in please.

so ive been thinkin of doin a ls swapped 3rd gen since i love third gens. anyways my 2 ideas were either to 1.) sell my 02 z28 and buy a camaro for like $1-1500 and find a ls1 4l60e (kinda sick of stick) or 2.) pull the motor/harness/ecu out of my car and try to part out the rest of the car with the t56.

my only questions are what would i need to swap it at a minimum?
motor plates? crossmember? corvette fpr? fuel pump?

i was thinkin of tryin to keep the a/c and power steering (but could go w/o)

ive done a swap before but it was into a fc rx7.

third gen what? 'vette, or F-car? If F-car, then go to www.thirdgen.org and find all your answers in their forums.

it depends how much you think you could sell your car for. Iwould rather have a complete donor car to do any of my swaps. Makes it a little easier. You would need the swap plates and trans crossmember (which i have FS) that an a new fuel pump in the thridgen is pretty much it. But for the nitty griddy thirdgen.org will fill you in.
