Default lt1 to ls1 swap

My motor and tranny blew in my 97 camaro... im looking at buying a 2000 ls1 and 4l60e complete setup from a guy on this forum... i was wondering what was all needed to get this swap in and running... im having a shop do it since i dont have the know how or tools to do it myself this computer **** baffles me haha. The motor comes with all the accessories and motor mounts along with the pc. What else do i need?

Stick with the LT1 man. Or just sell it as a parts car and buy yourself an LS1 car. its a much safer bet. I mean, car prices are in the ******* right now, you'll be able to pick yourself up a nice LS1 car right now for way cheap.

I'm in the same boat, way too many years have now been spent on this one, it'll be LS swap time down the road.

Hell Taubr, how many hours you have already cutting that one up? Bet that amount of time would make people not want to do it twice!

Guess you will just have to figure out what will motivate him to do so. Beer, money, women?

you can have it as is, complete with cam, valvetrain etc. ready to roll AND my PCM tuned for the cam/shift points etc. PM me if interested. Looks like your car is ready for it too, got the LTs, stall, just gears and your car will tearass!
