I have an 83 Trans Am that I am planning on turning into KITT from Knight Rider and i am wanting to take out my 305 and put in a beefed up LT1 from a newer Trans Am into it. I plan on putting a supercharger on it sometime in the future but i am wondering if anyone has done this to this old of a car. I would appreciate any help i can get from anyone with any problems i may run into and what all parts i may need from the doner car. I know that i want to get all the wiring, computer and i am going to need an electronic fuel pump as well. If you can help me out i would be very greatful.

They used to put the LT1 in the old Corvettes (70's), so I don't think your car is all that old.

Take a look at a few of the other posts here in the board and search the archives, there are several of us currently doing it and others who have already completed it, although im not going blower im using a turbo as soon as I finish the swap but I will also be forced

Ummm, Mutiny, I think you're getting the LT-1 from the early 70's (370 hp gross) confused with the LT1 used in the 90's. Chevy traded on the reputation of that engine to the confusion by many.
