hey guys, i just thought of this real quick before im about to head out to work, im sure its been done many many times be people on this board and a quick search yielded nothing for me.

anyway, since im late ill make it quick, Basicly just wondering, how hard of a swap it is, rough price on the swap, and what is needed?

ill do more searching on my own tonight when i get back home, but any starter help would be greatly appreciated... the car im being offered only has 58k miles on it!!! its mint!!!!!

thanks guys!!

all the info you could just about ask for will be at www.thirdgen.org There's probably a hundred swaps either done or in progress......mine is in progress(slow and slower is all I can say right now!) Good luck on the swap. I've seen a few and it's well worth the work.

Basically, it's just a matter of getting the motor out...and putting a motor in. Then, you have decide on your drivetrain parts. It can be made pretty easy, or you can make it a living hell to do.

Are you going to drop a stock LS1 in there? If you're going that route, your best bet is to get a complete motor ready to drop in. Are you building a motor from the block-up?

Lots and lots of variables go into the cost. Are you doing the work yourself? It can go anywhere from $0-(Infinite Amount) depending on how much of the parts you already have and how crazy you want to go.

Good luck.

mine is taking a long time and wads of cash because I swapped everything from front to rear..... along with a built LS motor, I also bought a built th350, moser 9", all the rear suspension, doing a tubualr k-member, coil overs, manual rack, etc, etc....like he said, the cost can go out the roof and I haven't even put a nick in it yet!!

thank you much for your responses. Sorry i was very brief but now i am able to elaborate a little bit more.

The engine will remain 100% stock for now.

Probably be looking for an LS1 mated with an M6 and all needed wiring harness' ecu etc.

I will be doing this myself as this will definitely not be my first rodeo haha, im more or less just looking for something fun. I dont want to go run 10s right now, especially with gas prices. It will most likely end up as my daily driver.

I did post up on the 3rdgen boards, thank yuo very much for that link, i come from the evil land of imports and fords so im not up on the LSx, LTx and just most general SBC stuff much anymore. I was raised in a chevy household and was shunned the first time i drove up in my black sn95 mustang, which i ended up selling due to sheer boredom with the car.

Anyway, thank you very much!

my only remaining questions would probably be

a. is it a direct drop in?
b. do i need special headers?
c. what wiring is needed to be done.

Thanks again, off to the recording studio
