i bought a 318 wanting to do the ls1 swap
im also going sat to pick up my engine which is a 2000 corvette ls1 engine
now i read in other threads that the stock corvette oil pan wont fit is there a conversion kit where i can put the camaro oil pan on it or do i have to modify it to fit please let me know because im gettin a killer deal on the engine thanks

 

unbolt the vette oil pan, bolt on the camaro oil pan.

 

thats all it will fit with no problems
thanks for the reply
oo another question is where can i get the wiring diagram for the ls1 thanks ahead of time
im new to the forum and to the ls1 engines

 

search. there are plenty of threads that cover those questions

 

also i want a/c is there a forum on how to make the a/c work wat all i need

 

Your gonna need electrical daigrams for both the BMW and the 2000 Vette. For the Vette I would recomend the Helms factory service manual, you can usually find them on Ebay.

thanks for the reply guys
really appreciate it

 

The swap is pretty easy, but if your new to it you have ALOT of reading to do. People can and will dish out some info, but your going to learn more what their talking about alot more if you read up on things.

What year 318 are you doing? I'm guessing the e36 body.? I have done the e30 325 body style and i am doing an e36 325is body style right now, but my e36 has a turbo setup the e30 is a nitrous setup.

This isnt going to help you much but here are pics of my build. I dont have a build thread on here on neither one of them. I dont have time to keep updating 50 build threads.

Good luck. Your going to have to do a few custom things, but not as much as a e30 body style....

if you do your a/c can you tell me how you did it

 

Neither one of my cars did i use p/s or a/c. My e36 i was going to use both, but with a front mounted turbo, it wasnt going to happen.

But the a/c should be pretty easy. Just make a custom bracket and use all of your stock a/c parts. Just make the bracket so you can bolt it to the block and run your belt. Then you dont have to make custom lines, and everything still uses the OEM controlls.
