i bought a 00 firebird v6 and a 98 camaro ls1 and i want to put the motor out of the wrecked camaro in the fire bird . the camaro has an auto trans but i would like to bolt it up to the stand trans in the firebird. is it possible? HELP!

 

no differant bellhousing and input shaft length for starts

 

so even if i change the bellhousing it wouldnt work?

 

Is it possible? yes. And, from what I udnerstand, fairly simple. You'll need the following for most of the conversion



bell housing, ls1 wiring harness and pcm, trans cross member, motormounts, input shaft, drive shaft and alot of other stuff I can't think of right now. Do a search, this has been done hundreds of times. If you have a more specific question, go ahead and ask...

 

9540 he is talking about using a 3.8 tranny on a ls1. Not putting the ls1 into the car. No that tranny will not work and it wouldnt handle the ls1 power even if you were to find a way to bolt it up

 

oh, my fault. I misread the post the first time.
That being said, no, the v6 tranny will be destroyed by the LS1 power. The end.

 

the 3.8 is a 60 degree and an ls needs a 90 degree pattern so no its not worth it. If they were both auto then all you would do is change the bell housing

 

The 3.8 is a 90 degree engine. The 3.4 is a 60 degree.

 

The 3.8L is a 90 deg, but it has a 60 degree bellhousing pattern on the mid 90`s and newer engines.
