LS1/T56 into 95 Camaro OK - I have seen this thread and have looked at the sites posted. I also have found the site listed that had the parts chart for which parts could be kept for a particular year model of the Camaro. But, I am still uninformed.
Do I need to change the rear end out if I put the LS1/T56 in my Camaro?
Is it better for the conversion to start with a new engine/transmission or should I look for a used one?
Is the swap worth doing if you get a 40K - 50K miles engine, or is the shortened lifespan prohibative?
I am a chemist, not a gear head, and have no idea what I should expect for labor costs, as I will have to have this swap done either by someone, or with me helping.
This board has answered some of my questions, but I still have more. I love my 95, and buying another Camaro is not an option. I like mine too much to just go get another.
Thanks for reading this, and for any suggestions and advice you leave for me.

rearend may not need to be swapped just change the gears to 3.42 or higher. i wouldnt be scared of a ls1 with 40-50k miles on it. they can last quite a while till you try putting higher boost 11+psi or over a 150 hp nitrous shot to it. just got wrapped up with my swap. if you got any questions or need any help pm me.
