I only imported the LS1, the LT1 was new in Norway.

Paid $1650 for the inland transport in USA Ohio to California and $1495 USA to Norway with ship in container, it was expensive because the car was damaged and didn't roll, the whole process took abt. 4 months, but you can have it faster and cheaper if you buy a car who runs, then you can take it on a RO-RO ship, it cost abt. $1000.- USA-Norway, to Australia i dont know, but you can call California Shipping in Los Angeles tel. 714-590-1999 and ask for a price, I know they are shipping cars to Australia and the take care of all the paperwork for you, you need the cars Title and sellers Bill of Sale to export a car from USA...

Hope this answer some of your questions, good luck

This may be a stupid question, but can you put a 95 formula front and rear on a 98-newer Formula/Trans Am? I loved my 95 Formula's looks but want an LS1 drivetrain and interior. Just curious.

There is no stupid questions only stupid answer

Should be no problem at all, everything is the same, I didn't need to drill a single hole or customise anything for this conversion, so the 95 front and rear goes on a LS, bolt on...

My Senior Chief in the Navy always told me "There is no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people asking questions"

Thanks for the reply, I think I just figured out my next project. Good luck with everything, it looks great so far.

Like everyones already said that is a BEAUTIFUL bird. the work done to it is quite extrodonary. did you have to moddify the front end to mount the 98+ front? and that color is down right awsome i hate red and i would paint my car that color.
