LS1 swap into LT1 I am able to pick up a 96 camaro with a blown lt1 i can get a complete ls1 with trans and harness. What else would be needed to do the swap?
I have done some reasearch on this basicly if you want to save on cost fins a donor car. the swap is pretty much sraight forward but that are a lot of little things that will be a pain. just make sure you have everything needed pretty much all the stuff out of the LS1 engine compartment has to go with the motor im pretty sure. But dont quote me on it lol someone else on here probably knows more details.

LS-1 block that I don't need I have just bought an LS-1 aluminum block from E-Bay that I just discovered I don't need. I got it for $300.00. The only problem is that one of the cylinders is messed up and it needs to be resleeved. Other than that, it's good. It has 20,000 miles on it. I decided not to use it because I also got me an LT-1 and I don't want to go through the hassle of modifying everything just for the LS-1. So, if you or anyone you know is interested, let me know. All I'm asking for it is the amount that I bought it for and shipping. I still haven't paid for it yet and it's over there on the east coast in New Jersey. I have a 95' Camaro Z-28 that has a tired engine and I just want to build up the LT-1 block that I'm getting. My e-mail is rokbrigade@hotmail.com
