I'll have to check on the style I got. I'm not for sure what it is. It's been awhile. Yeah I just cut the plastic lines. I can't think what the connectors are called They are gold with ridges on them. I just tephloned the connectors stuck one end on one side and the other end the otherside and clamped them down. I'm from Connersville, I'm over here on the Ohio and Indiana border. I can get you some pics but it will be prob. end of the week or so. My car is stored for the winter. I just bought a 99' Z28 camaro wrecked in the quarter and rear. I am going to part it out. I am supposed to get the car delivered tom. at my house , but with the weather the way it is,it might be end of the week. But I should have all the stuff for you to convert it over, even the fuel pump.

I'm not for sure if they are diff. or not. I'll look into it a little more and find out. Well a couple of things we need to find out is on mine. I popped the top of the fuel pump module to get the pump out to switch them and then I siliconed it back with black urethane that you put windshields in with. If you didn't want to do that we need to find of if the LS1 fuel pump module will fit into the LT1 style tank with out switching tanks.

How many miles? You prob wont wanna just get rid of the Hyd setup, Bellhousing, Front Cover, and Input shaft would ya? I could give you my LT1 Hyd setup, Bellhousing, Front Cover, and Input Shaft so you would have a LT1 T56 to sell after I buy the LS1 parts off it tho huh?

Rack is the same, and the steering linkage is the same. Headers will fit nicely.
