what to buy? Well i got ambitous today and pulled the 2.8/700r4 out of my 89 bird and was checking on a few things.
1. my wiring harness is a little rough and was wonder if spear tech can fix it
or do i need to find one that came with a 350.
2. is my suspencion heavy enough to put a ls1 in it or did the 6 banger get a
lower quality set-up.
other than these couple questions i think i got it all covered. I am up-grading the rear end to a 10 bolt, sub-frame conectors....... the list keeps going. but this is my first total restore/mod so i thinks its safe to take it slow and ask lots of questions. If there is a compleat brake down on the comon snaggles of a 3rd gen ls1 swap i would like to read it.
Thanks
Richard

You want to start by doing a search.......there is tons of info on the Ls1 into 3rd gen swap
I don't think the LS1/t56 weighs much more than what you just took out. However just to be on the safe side, you can upgrade to the springs that the V8 cars used ( I am not too familiar with 3rd gens).
Search and ye shall find
