LT1 to lq4 Hey guys. So I have a little bit of a cluster going on. Let me start by say I have a 1999 trans am with out the small block. I have everything else. This car was an automatic. With that said, I recently purchased a 1993 6in absolute prestige condition with the exception of the motor needing to be replaced. I am going to purchase an lq4 or lq9 and my machinist is going to be able to get up over 500 horse power with some head work, cam and a valve job. Anyway my question is other than the computer and harness..what else am I going to need to make this work? I'm assuming I'm going to need a different bellhousing for the transmission. What parts can I grab off of my 99? Will the motor mounts from the 99 work? Any modifications that need to be made? Any kind of input would be greatly appreciated!!

Right on, FYI, be advised that the 93 T56 is a one year only, either an M28 or an M29, depending on the market for them, it may be more cost/time effective to get an LS T56 rather than getting the input shaft/midplate/bell to convert yours.
