LT1 to LS1 Full Swap Ok I've done some searching but haven't really come up with anything good.
Heres the quick story, I drove a 2000 Z28 M6 and a guy ran a stop sign and I got him in the driverside door. Damage to my car consisted of fenders, hood, bumper and support, windshield, and airbags. No other real damage. Radiator support wasnt even touched. Problem is the car is considered totaled and it already had a rebuilt title on it and needs some other body work done to it.
So I was thinking, I have a 93 Z28 A4 sitting around that has a bent axle and my dad wants to put the drivetrain in another car, we got the 93 for $1000 great deal. So what is it going to take to put the whole drivetrain of my 2000 into the 93? Since wiring harness would be different would I need to swap out the dash too so all wires are matching up? Does the engine cross member bolt directly into the 93?
Pretty much I just want to use the 93 body over everything else I have. What would be the easiest process to do this?

Swap everything!
You have all associated eqip. from the Ls car so use it ALL. You will have a much better and easier swap/conversion,its more time consuming but worth it in the end.....
