LS1 swap for an L98 in a 92 Z-28

I can get a hold of an LS1 motor cheap with wiring harness, and I was wondering if someone that has done this before can e-mail me at berman8or@aol.com to discuss it.

totally different.no motor mounts,doesn't need a fuel return line(has variable pump),too many things different to contemplate.if you wanna make the same power get a good 400 build it and slap some sb2 heads on it.

I have done it. I would say check out my web site but I think the server is down.

------------------
1987 IROC-Z Screaming Yellow.
Mods: 1998 LS1 with six speed, many more...
You can see the project at: http://bradkiel.fbody.com/
this is not the best pic, my web site has plenty of pics. I hope the server gets up and running.



13.242 @ 105.3 with a 2.09 60' for a mostly stock LS1 and 6 speed.

Please dont hack up a 92 350 car to do that, sell that and buy something not as rare and do the swap, come out much cheaper and better in the end.

Sorry, I've just never heard of any 3rd gen going for that much. Collectors item or not. But then what do I know, I'm not a collector.

No, I was going to keep it and maybe do the swap, but now I have to sell it because I need money so I can get out of debt.
