LT1 in a 99 C2500
So I've got a 99 C2500 with a bad motor and a 94 Z28 that I've managed to lose the title for and the scrapyards are only offering $350 for it
Therefore I'm planning on swapping the lt1 into the truck along with converting it to us ls coil packs and possibly a carb I'm just wondering if any of y'all have any advice on making this easier

EDIT: nevermind just looked up the standard trans/motor combo for the 99 C2500.
Stick with a replacement motor, junkyards have plenty of GEN III motors available that will drop right in with little head ache compared to reverse engineering a GEN II motor in.
You would have to redo the fuel system (if you wanted a carb), redo the harness (probably still not have the gauges work unless you're creative), and be taking a step backwards motor wise. You'll honestly probably spend more money making an older engine, with less power/torque, work in a platform it was never designed for.

You could get the classic body in a 2500 or 3500 up to 2000 and the new body starting in 1999. The 3500HD in a classic body was used until 2002.
