ls1 in an lt1 car?
No..you need a different Imput Shaft, and Bell Housing. The Clutch Hydraulics are different also.
Here is a thread that I have made for the swap I am doing..

i was going to do the swap too, but in the end i decided it better to ditch the older body....
the LS1 car is just...better
there is nothing i miss about my '94 Z28 anymore after having my '99 SS for a month
edit: except my stereo... but i'll build a bigger better one

really IMO the swap isnt worth it, if your goin to put 2-3 K in a swap why not just get a nice h/c package or something and you will end up with more power then if you were to just swap a LSx engine in there

and in my opinion a fast car needs to look fast. Who wants a sleeper...sleeper= shitty appearance

Not to get off topic, but I don't think any camaro could be considered a sleeper. Some models look better than others, but if I were building a "sleeper", the last thing that I would use would be a camaro. I just think that f-bodies were meant to go fast and look fast. If you shave all the emblems and stick with some kind of absurdly quiet exhaust, then you just have a v8 camaro that looks like a v6. I suppose it's just a different definition of sleeper for me.
I don't want to dissuade you from the swap, because it's your car, your money and your time and what you do with those three things is up to you. However, if we look at the situation from a practical standpoint, it's probably going to cost you around five grand (yes, it really will. Trust me.) once everything is said and done. A used LS1 f-body runs about 7k-10K and I've come across a few high mileage ones for even less than that. They depreciate in value real quick. Plus you have the benefit of all the components just working together right and it's a hell of alot easier to figure out when something does go wrong.
I know for myself I have a hard time saying no to the practical choice, but then again, what has practicality ever contributed to hotrodding?

You obviously prefer the new style, I prefer the older one. Fast Car doesn't necessarily need to look fast, hence the term "sleeper"

because between the stereo, suspension, and other improvements, I've got a fortune in my 94 Z28 and it's got no resale value due to it's age. After I swap the front clip, I'll have a moded 98+ Camaro for less than I would have spent to buy one.

Well there you go. To get back to the original post, the m6 trans will work with a different bellhousing and proper modifications mentioned above. However, if you just buy an LS1 with the trans already, you'll save yourself thousands of headaches. Since both trans are 4l60e I'm pretty sure everything should bolt right up.
I am in the same boat as well, but I would be getting my motor/tranny for practically nothing....I have a 94 Z28 and to fix my motor and tranny and opti-crap it would be too much money thatn to just get a the LS motor from my friend.....My question was I heard that you can use a escalade motor or something of that nature because its bigger or something, can someone give me the details to the swap, pointers, or a link to a thread with it, i have to go ot bed and dont have time to search. i saw a thread about 5.3 v 6.0 or something...
