A bittersweet swap
Hi all, I've been dormant for a good portion of the year. Some of you in this section may have heard of the wreck that prior to January was my build. It was a 1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA (notchback). It was rearended by some lady and the frame buckled and was beyond the point of repair, with damage extending past the trunk floor pan. I decided to switch generations for my LS motor that I had in the car. I picked up a 99 firebird base that didn't run but was clean and rust free but with some panels in need of a paint job. I intend to swap the v6 in the 99 for my baby LS1. I have most of all the parts I need, but I wanted to run it past the forum to make sure.
I have the entire front suspension and engine mounts from an 02 Trans am
I have the entire exhaust for an ls1 in a 4th gen
I have the throttle cable and throttle/brake pedal assembly from a 99-02 transam
I have my 5.3 which was basically put together with all the parts from an ls1 and the 88 was modded to work with the ls1 fans and radiator, and a/c system.
I have the 4th gen harness and have to mod it to work with a 4 th gen again and I have a spare 4 th gen cluster for a Trans am. Will add pics when I get back to jersey Monday.
