So let me get this straight, well the LS1 k member bolt right up to my 95 Firebird? Well it work with the suspension that's currently on it? Well my 95 4l60e bolt onto the ls1 or does it need something to work right. And well the lt1 AC bolt onto the ls1? Sorry for the newb questions.

On a side note what would take for you "Merv" to fab up a wiring harness.

The LS1 K-member will bolt directly up, just make sure you use the LS1 Steering Rack aswell.

I recommend getting a 1998 and up 4L60E Tranny, the Wiring in anything 1997 and back isn't compatible. I don't know about the AC, I never ran it.

PM sent about the Wiring..

Nice work buddy. My WS6 needs a 9" on my next R&R so I think I'll go ahead and ditch the ABS. I don't need to drive it in the snow anyway lol.

I went to the Junk Yard and took that Proportioning Block and the Lines from an '89 Camaro, then I used a Flare Tool and made it adapt into my Car. It was about an hour of work, but it works very well. I have about $5 invested.

Do you have to get the new intake manifold if you go from the ls1 heads to the LS3 heads? I am kinda new to those heads that is why I am asking

the lt1 steering rack wouldnt allow him to use the headers, there wasnt enough room.

The LS1 and everything except for the L76/L92/LS3, LS7 Heads are cathedral ports, the ones that I mentioned are rectangular port. The LS7's themselves are different from the L76/L92/LS3.

nothing special on the brakes just connect the factory lines to the non abs block? right

Yea it's pretty much the same as long as you dont have TCS on the rear brakes. It won't work on a 3-channel Brake setup.
