BACKWARDS!! Lt1 into an LS1!
BACKWARDS!! Lt1 into an LS1! This is the closest forum i can see for this type of thing.
im looking to get the bare essentials for a 98+ body and take EVERYTHING from my full suspension 383 93-97 stuff and swap it.
I need to know if its as simple as it sounds...
can i just unbolt the shock towers and everything holding the motor, tranny and rear end assembly to the car with the wheels still on it and all the wiring hooked up and roll it under the ls1 body and drop it down???
only issues i really see are things like the gauge cluster and maybe the steering or something...please let me know if this would be a rather simple "body" swap.
im not interesting taking all the stuff apart, like i said i want to seperate my engine, suspension and drive train from my lt1 camaro to an ls1 camaro
school me!

Unplug the harness from the pcm on ls1 cars you have 3 bolts on each side of the k member then follow your brake lines and unhook 2 from the aluminum box on the drivers side and 4 bolts on each shock tower and just raise the body up of the k member
i want the whole rear assembly too though
so, do i still have to undo the breaks if i want to pull the whole deal with it?
and how would i make the wiring harness from my car work for the ls1 cluster and what not?

Something wrong witht the body on the LT1 car? Might be easier to just upgrade the front end to the LS1 bodystyle, unless you have other reasons for doing this swap that we might not know about.
rear quarter and front fender have bondo andthe whole car needs paint.
i will part out what parts are good and that i dont need once i do the swap. like i will have a ttop conversion minus the actual tops most likely.
i just want to get an all around clean car and just a new look.
it seems like this will be easy..a basic lift the body off type of deal but i have a feeling it could be more than that thats why im asking here.

im thinking the pig tail that connects to the cluster would be enough to splice in. but i have a feeling the odometer may or may not work. it would be an interesting process though.
and i can be the only one..people put ls1 dashes in lt1 and even third gens and they have to wire it up some how right?
