3.8 to lt1 swap okay so i have a 1996 firebird 3.8 5 speed. i want to swap to the lt1 so ibought a donor car (1995 trans am) which was mostly gone but i was able to get the k member, radiator and a few other odds and ends that may be needed. I have an lt1 out of a 1996 caprice with full harness and a t5 borg warner out of a 1989 305 3rd gen f body. Now wat i would like to know is everything plug and play for the wiring under the dash? What crossmember will i need for the tranny? anything alse i would need? thanks alot, jake
There's a lot of things you need, here a few...
96 LT1 F-body engine Harness
96 LT1 PCM
96 LT1 instrument panel
LT1 engine and accessories
LT1 radiator
LT1 fuel pump
LT1 fuel line
LT1 T56 (the T5 will not handle a LT1)
LT1 T56 transmission crossmember
LT1 K-member
LT1 drive shaft
There might be few more things that i forgot, but this is a basic list.
