LB9 To 1996 LT1 FROM Camaro - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Hi, I have a 1987 Gta with a 305 TPI and t5 trans. I found a deal on a 1996 lt1 from a camaro z28, I don't have a/c and I don't need to pass emissions.
My questions are:
Can I use my factory tpi wiring and/or ecu?
Could I use my stock intake manifold/throttle body etc.?
Will the t5 trans fit?

Sorry if those are newbie question but I am! I went through 4 pages of this sub-forum and didn't find my answers.

Thanks a lot!

You will splice the LT1 harness into the bulkhead and you will need the LT1PCM.
You will have to use the LT1 intake and tb.

The T-5 will fit but it wont last long.

OK thanks, I should get the 6speed from the same car
And is the wiring all that difficult, i have done a couple of swaps on Hondas but that's it.

Thanks

If you can get the 6 spd I would get it rather that the T-5 . As for the wiring they are about 8-12 wires to splice in.

Will I was looking a classified the same guy also has a 1985 corvette tpi engine for about the same price (1500$ CDN)

I may be better off getting that one instead?
