Need help with swap issues So Im having a used 94 LT1 dropped into my 95 Z28. I wasnt shocked when they couldnt use my Opticrap, and the motor dropped in no problem but it wont run worth a damn and needs a new Optispark. Also my mechanic is telling me it doesnt have timing marks on it. Im going to have them put a new Opti in it, but is there anything else I need to look for? I dont mind so much having to put the new Opti in, but Im pretty worried that I overlooked a major hitch in the swap and that I might have problems with my PCM working on this motor. Any thing you guys can think of that might also make it run like sh*t besides the Opti? Thanks

What timing marks is your mechanic talking about? there are no timing marks on an LT1 damper. Yes, you'll need a vented opti to work with your existing harness in addition to that you'll need the following:
1- 95+ cam gear,
2- 95+ cam (longer dowl pin),
3- 95 timing cover, 96-97 with a hole for the cp sensor will also work.
