I am needing help about a swap I am considering doing, a Lq4 has come up for sale in my area for a great price here is the info on the engine:
a complete lq4 engine from a 50k '05' 2500hd silverado
Trickflow camshaft 112 lsa 220/224 dur. .575 lift
comp timing chain
new ls7 lifters
arp rod bolts
ls6 oil pump
has the better rods (mid 04+) and coated pistons

I was planning on swapping a lt1 into my 96 V6 auto firebird until I saw this, what would it all take to swap in there.

Lq4 sounds like a better plan than the LT1. You are going to need ls mounts, wiring and modifications to the fuel system. If you search the threads you should find plenty of info on this swap. Very popular.

Sounds like a good combo... if it's a good price. Be sure to use PSI for your wiring needs....I did...good stuff...

The front k-member from a LS Fbody is about the easiest thing to do. It is easier to take the engine out from the bottom, so you will already have the k member out.

The ls k member will bolt right in, and just put the ls fbody mounts on the lq4 and it will bolt right up.

The good thing about swapping that kmember is if you can get the brakes and a arms too you will get the bigger brakes to help with stopping, which is a very popular mod.

We specialize in the F-body cars. I have all the parts to make you a factory replacement plug and play harness for this swap. All the way down to the heat tape, new FACTORY firewall grommet, and the clips needed.

If you have any more questions just ask, there are lots of knowledgeable members on here.
