Lt1 to ls swap I came from a 94 lt1 and I did a ls swap in it , I brough a rebuilt lq4 with ls6 intake, cam ,headers., and stall for $1200 .. I changed all the dash harness and body harness, I kept my fuel tank and just ran braided fuel lines with a corvette fuel filter regulator and ls1 fuel rail.. the harness came from 98 drop top trans am,, now I got it up and running and i have a sct x4 tuner when I plug it up to tune it says vin not supported?

Why does the VIN matter to you? Are you in a strict emissions control state that requires the VIN to match the body of the vehicle? There is a program called "HP Tuners" that can program your PCM to the correct VIN - at least I think it can do it. Around here, that change using somebody skilled with HP Tuners would cost about $150.
Is anything else wrong with the engine and transmission in your vehicle? For me, I'd ignore the VIN mismatch unless an emissions control inspector required a match.

No the vin doesn’t matter, I was just trying to give as much info as possible...I never got a chance to drive it yet because im still getting the transmission right, I had a truck transmission and I changed the tail shaft to a f body one and changed the lever on it to a f body one , the transmission was for a v6 truck I changed the bell housing and used the converter that came with it.. this is only a temporary thing until I get another transmission but the transmission works
