Default LS3 into LT1 questions?

What is needed to do a LS3 swap into a LT1 car? Using a LS1 k-member too.
Would it be easier to get a complete LS1 from a yard complete with ECM and harness, then sell off the LS1 for the LS3 and use a 58 to 42x converter?

Yes it would be easier to buy the drop out with everything then switch to the LS3. If you buy a LS3 you will nickle and dime yourself to death trying to get all the individual parts you'll need.

Thanks, that is what I thought too!
Do you know of a write up on wiring a LS1 into a LT1... Gauges, etc?
Does a LS1 cluster work in a LT1 swap?

You can keep your original cluster. You can check the link in my sig for my swap details.

Thank you flame!
BTW, love your car...
I have had LS1's before, but I have always loved the 96-97 WS6 style the best... hence the reason for the swap instead of buying a LS1 car again.
