Have any local shops had experience in doing swap in LS1 swaps in to LT1 powered vehicle, also whats the ball park on a turn key swap?

 

Neal its easy.

I spent 4000 in parts, and made all of that back selling my old parts lol.

wiring is very simple. Swap is a straight bolt on.

 

NEIL! Yes. Talk to Joe.

 

I was looking in to a speartech harness, I have seen a couple pull outs for sale. The car may also go to a TH350 at the same time.

 

im in the process of planning it out too. i have a hook up on the drivetrains, and i was thinking about the speartech harness too.

so far ive gathered it running around $3500

 

Thats what I figured maybe $1500 more, I haven't really had to much issues from the LT1 in there now. Gotta see how fun it is on a 175 shot So the money for the swap could very well be used on a new daily driver...just kinda looking at options

 

Whoa whoa, is this cereal?

 

not much to it. a few repinned connectors here n there, some -8an fuel lines a ls1 k member later and you have a car with plenty more potential!!!

 

got a buddy with an ls1, comp, wiring harness, and 4l60. i think he said he wanted like 2000 for it. pm if your interested and i can find out the details.

 

im planning on either selling my T56 and/or the engine to re coup 1/2-3/4 the cost after.

 

What happened to the c6 plans Neil ???

 

Im sure the speartech harness makes things easier by just plugging right in, but if you're not intimidated by wiring, its quite straight forward. All of the wiring diagrams you need can be found on this site to modify a stock harness.

 

I'm going to have to replace this Blazer in a year or so, most likely with a truck. Cant have two payments, really cant have a payment on a toy with this one being paid for, makes sense to keep it and mess with it, rather then buying some thing and having a $30K car note.

 

its easy, just make sure you get a good motor, i kinda got screwed but im workin on fixin the issue with the engine. 19SS98 is the *** who sold me the motor.

 

here is a link to our installers page, there is one in Conroe TX. that might be close to you. didn't see any in Houston.

 

sorry here's the link

Thanks

 

Not that I condone the swapping (kinda partial to LT1s)... BUT.... I may have a lead on an LS1 k-member. A buddy of mine is pulling his to replace it with a tubular one... willing to bet he has no plans for his stock one.
