hey guys i was juss lookin at a cheap 96 vette LT1 with low low miles and got an offer i couldnt refuse
so im going to drop it in my car which is a 99 v6 camaro

i was wondering if i would need to swap out the whole cooling system i have now to satisfy the reverse flow cooling of the lt1, and what would be some other stuff i HAVE to switch out, such as the opti..

thanks guys, David

 

its pretty much just a crate engine with the wiring

 

Is your car auto or 5 speed? youll also need LT1 fuel pump.

 

the V6 is an A4
would i be able to use the same 4L60E tranny for the LT1?

 

yeah, but youll need a different stall converter, it also has little different valve body setup but you can still use it.

Use A4 LT1 PCM and harness too.

 

I don't think the V6 bellhousing is compatible. You'll need the fuel pump, wiring, transmission, and PCM.

Also, weren't all 96s Grand Sports, and all Grand Sports LT4s? Bcause that sure isn't an LT4...

 

I dont think its out of a vette....look at where the altenator would sit.

 

From what I can remember about my friend's 94 Vette, his is on the same side as ours, but the power steering is up on the upper drivers side. But it has been awhile since I've looked at it.

There's also no knock sensor >_>

 

That came from a F-body.. it's got the F-body Alt. Bracket, and the F-body Oil Fill Tube. That and you would have to cut the Harness out of a Corvette..this one here has all the F-body Connections.

A V6 4L60E will not bolt up to a V8. You will need a V8 one.

Not all 96's were Grand Sports..there were many Coupes. Some of the Collectors Editions were M6 LT4's as well..

 

Oh ya thats right merv, the V6 and V8 have different bolt location on the bellhousing. i guess he will need new trans and drive shaft.

 

Drive Shaft and Tranny Cross Member for it should be the same as well.

 

why state are you in? I know in Texas that you cant put an older engine in a newer car because of all of the emmission BS....but you can put any engine in an older car and be good to go.

 

i thought V6's had two piece drive shaft.

 

On early 4th gens (LT1s) they do for sure, but I believe at least some if not all of the later 4th gens, v6 included, got the one piece aluminum drive shaft. If it is a 2 piece though then yeah he needs another driveshaft.

 

From what I have seen it was the early 3rd Gens..
