I still own a very rare 1994 Ford Mustang GT R Code Steeda Edition. Fast but I have always loved them F Bodys. Jamie55

Had you looked at the date of the thread, it was over 5 years ago when he put up that post.

hey guys i got a 94 LT1 and I'm looking to drop it in my 91 3.1 Firebird I'm wondering would it bolt right up to the stock mounts or is their modification needed for the extra 2 cylinders? Do i need a new k-member i know i need stronger struts and shocks. the engine is out of a Impala SS. I just wanna get it in there without much frustration and confusion. i got lost with the resistance and the VAT and MAF please someone help my parents don't even know i got this engine lol I'm only 17 and I've done engine swaps before but i never put in a bigger engine before i only swapped out for the same motor

Re: Swaping LT1 1993

I have a 1990 Camaro RS with the dog 305 TBI with 237,8xx original miles on the engine and I'm going to be looking to drop an LT1 from a non-Police Chevy Caprice in my 3rd gen Camaro. So, obviously I have some questions/points for the knowledgable here.
  • I understand that the LT1 will directly work with the stock engine mounts.
  • Will the auto tranny from the Caprice fit my Camaro? Or do I need to grab a 4L60E from a 4th gen F-body--and will that fit.
  • Someone told me about the "reverse cooling" on the LT1 that needs to be re-engineered--anybody know of any guides how to do this?
  • I'm planning a custom dash+console with a completely custom instrument cluster--so that means I won't be using my stock instrument cluster from my Camaro. Is this a problem--or will that just make it easier in terms of the wiring.
  • Will I have to relocate the A/C compressor--or can I just add a "delete" pully?
  • What else will I have to relocate/fabricate/re-engineer on the LT1 for my 3rd gen?

Thanks in advance for any assistance on my project.
