ultimate DD 4.8/5.3 swap into 95LT1 w/t56 Ive been researching and ive decided to just start tearing into it. I have a new LT1 walbro 255 fuel pump that im going to do first and get the LT1 running with that. Then I'll be droping everything out. I plan on using all the LT1 gauges but I'll run new fuel lines unless I find a cheap 97 vette fuel rail.
Questions
I will be getting a complete 5.3 or 4.8 pull out motor.
What will I need to make this work/fit into the LT1 w/ a LS1 complete T56 swap? I know Intake, but what about the throttle body, fuel rails and all the accessories?
Should I get a LS1/T56 wiring harness and computer or will the truck one be adaptable? I will be upgrading to bigger cubes sometime in the future if that matters. I will send this off to speartech to keep from having to many headaches, I just want the best one for future upgrades.
Here is my list so far:
Complete 5.3/4.8 w/ everything
Complete LS1 T56 swap
Ls1 m6 driveshaft
Ls1 throttle cable
Ls1 complete k member
99+ vette fuel filter/regulator
Braided fuel lines and fittings
Performance (not a must)
Ls6 cam (nothing to big)
LS6/fast intake
LT's headers and Y-pipe
clutch and flywheel
Possible
LS1/T56 harness and computer
My goal is 30+mpg mixed hwy and city driving and around 330-350rwhp on 87 octane. Might come short on the horsepower but that always can be fixed at a later date. What does everyone think?
