I was thinking about doing it as well, I found all necessary required parts. I figured to leave it as is, cause it's already setup for the LT1, and less money will go in to make it run.

You don't need a new cluster, Joe (ex-SS-ve) still has his 93 cluster.

I have a LT1 Be Cool radiator (for an A4, I have M6) in my SS.

Peace,
Craig.

I would think... HO,HUM another slow *** turd generation.
Hey now, my 91 TPI beat a LT1 6spd. All I had done is dual cat removal, tuned by me (first tune, never touched again), maaaaajor upper plenum porting, 58mm TB, AFPR and cut up the air filter can. I seriously think that motor had 280+HP after I was done with it, IF not more. GOD DAMNIT I MISS IT!!!!!! *cries*

Anyways, I'd totally go with a built LT1. Stroke it, put some quieter mufflers on it, and let him enjoy having a sleeper.

Or put the LT1 in a 91 Volvo 780 (or was it 785) coupe and watch people cry when you beat them hehe. Someone on here has a LT1 Volvo. I want a 91 Turbo 5spd Volvo heh, nothings funnier than a stock volvo with the waste gate adjusted and the factory boost recirculation valve vented (blow off valve). It's like 'why is that Volvo hauling *** with 250K miles on the clock o_0'

Take pride in the LT1, don't succumb to the dark side!

What "dark side?" Like he's putting a Ford 302 in it or something??? lol
Just don't hate on what the LS1 offers, easier to make power in a lightweight package.

Peace,
Craig.

P.S.

I decided anyone who performs this swap is retarded and wasting their time unless they have a super insane deal on a ls1 and the lt1 is dead

I've put a 350 in a 94 Mustang lol I don't hate on the LS1, it's a great motor, sadly a different block though :\ I just hear of all the LSx owners down-talking LT1s.

Plus, as your picture, it was meant to be taken with humor in mind
