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.
