Looking for advice from experianced people for engine swap I have a 1994 Camaro. It has the base 3.4L (204) with auto. trans. I'm going to replace it with a supercharged LS1. However, there are a few things I'm not sure about. For starters, I know I need to change my rear end assy. But will I also need to replace my driveshaft? How do I change wiring harnesses on an OBD1 vehicle, to an OBD2 engine? Any suggestions? I know questions like these don't seem hard, and I've been working on cars for years, but I have very little "performance" experiance. Any help or ideas are appreciated.

I'm should've been more clear. I was planning on taking the pcm too, but how do integrate them with my obd1? As far as my trans goes, I'm going to rebuild it. It has the same 4L60E as the Z28 would. I'm not looking to swap it for a manual. That would be more money, and hassle for not much of a gain. As I said before, I'll pull the rear end out of a Z, for the bigger gear.

If you take the engine and PCM, you lose your ODBI... the PCM controls all the sensors and emissions crap.
The rearend is the same in both cars. So horrible and shitty. The driveshaft length is the same auto/manual between any 4th gen. Just the LS1s got a 3" aluminum vs the 2.75" steel for everything else.
