Have any of you ever heard of anyone doing this? I have a really nice '92 Chev. stepside and Extra LS1 complete motor in my garage.

I need info on motor mounts, wiring harness, and will the LS1 bolt up to a 700R4.

Please post ANY info. Thanks.

Mike

 

Coincidentally, while doing a search on something else LS1 related, I found this:

which would probably make such a swap much easier. If not from this guy, then possibly from a local yard....

As to the wiring, if you don't have an LS1 harness, vendors like Speartech will sell you one - Painless has one now too. Regular 700R4 will not bolt up. LS1s have a different bellhousing than the 305/350. But the 4L60E (which is basically the same thing) for an LS1 is not too hard to find, and not too expensive either.

 

Thanks alot!!

 

E-mail me offline if interested in potential motor mounts for your application.

 

e-mail me I have done it to 91 c-1500 and an 87 camero
PU was easy, but needs lots of changes <img src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" border="0" alt="[whiner]" />

 

dhough, the purpose of this bulletin board is to share experiences! Please tell us about the pick-up swap issues!
