Engine Swap (LT1 for LS1 for LS6) I have a deal going with my father. He wants to put an LS1 in his 96 TA(Auto), I have a 98 TA(M6) that he wants the motor out of, in return he will go in half on a crate LS6. Whats is all involved in hooking up an LS1 into a 96 TA? Will the tranny hook up, what will i have to modify? What about the 96's AC unit, how will it hook up? And what other things do I need to know about so there are no surprises when we get ready to do this. I HATE surprises! Please I need Info so I can make this work for the both of us.

Re: Engine Swap (LT1 for LS1 for LS6) Not sure yet, I have to plan the conversion 1st, but the LT1 has 94k on it also. We are planning on doing next year, but I want to be prepared for when we do it.

Re: Engine Swap (LT1 for LS1 for LS6) Ok the breakdown in a nut shell
Change Cross Member (its easier that way)
Slightly modify transmission mount (adding about a 1 inch tab to make it work)
Of course modify the harness to match your interior wiring harness talk to speartech for that one.
your going to have a fuel problem that can be solved with an aeromotive adjustible fuel pressure regulator(make sure it has a return line on the bottom so you can use your stock fuel pump)
Vats will have to be disabled
The ac can be made to fit its just going to take some measurements after the install. If you have any questions in specific you can email me and i'll try to help all I can I just finished this same swap enjoy your new project and prepare for some hard wrench time to make it all happen

Re: Engine Swap (LT1 for LS1 for LS6) All F-body fuel rails are single line, no return; regardless of the year.
