I thought this might be the more appropiate place to put this seeing as it's the LS1 section.......just a few questions!

So I may have found a corvette Ls1 for a really really really sweet deal. It's stock and has about 30,000 on the clock. My question is i was looking for a Trans Am Ls1 but is the Corvette LS1 have a different setup? I know it may have a different cam, but like how about the position of the alternator etc. Will I be able to do this in my 96' Trans Am (fitting it in) Any insight would be awesome and don't post in here just to say i'm an idiot for wanting to do this. Thanks!

The c5 accessories sit about 3/4 of an inch closer to the block just about everything is different....Or I just wasted a ton of money buying c5 parts for my ls1 s10. If you have any more questions try the conversion and hybrid section,lots of good info

 

so basically it woulnd't work and it would be a waste of time on my part as well?

 

I'm not sure if it would work but i've often wondered this. It will give you better clearance in front of the motor,which is why most people use them in conversions

 

The alternator and power steering are mounted differently than the WS6. You should be able to reconfigure using your WS6 brackets or just swap out the WS6 and Corvette alternator/powersteering units.... the blocks should have the same mounting holes. I have an LS6 block from a Corvette in my SS HAD NO ISSUES with making it work.

P.S. You'll need the WS6 oil pan assembly and dipstick as well.

 

First off the guy has an LT1 so that won'ty work.
Did you find a Corvette motor with all accesories on it or just a longblock?

 

I found it with full accsesories.

I would find LS1 trans am accsissories to put on this.

 

Yeah the long blocks are the same. just sell the vette accesories and but some f body accesories.

 

Crap!! I'm in the middle of selling all my 2000 ta accessories and buying c5 accesories.If you want to trade post an ad in the conversions and hybrids I'm sure someone would love to trade and probably give you money to boot!

 

That would be quite awesome. I'll let you guys know!

 

The mods sig thing is priceless I laugh everytime I see it.

 

I know i know. I love the simpsons and thats EXACTLY what he says when he starts off...hahah..to funny. But once i get the longblock i will be posting the C5 parts. Keep tuned. I just may post in here for you guys too since you helped me out first. Mods please don't get mad at me.
