Are you wanting to swap transmissions while the motor is in the car already, or just asking in general what parts you need?

If you've never done it before, Id find a friend who has to help you through it. Its very time consuming and dangerous to pull and engine if you dont know what you're doing

Expect atleast a full weekend to physically swap the LT1 in and trade trans in the IROC
Dont expect the LT1 to fire without a TON of preemptive parts ready
Remember to swap the tailhousing off the IROC's 700R4 onto the 4L60 along with the old cable VSS gears. The 93 is setup for an electric VSS and the IROC a cable drive

What are you expecting to happen? All the wiring will plug right up? Fuel lines fit right on, exhaust bolt up directly?
Read the LT1 swap sticky and start from there
As previously stated, the only thing youll be using from the 93 donor is the engine itself. Not the harness, ECM, exhaust, trans, mounts, fuel system, etc. Hardly a start when the engine is the cheap part

Re: what do i need to swap the 4L60 off and a t56 on the 93lt1
i really dont know what all those things really do except for what the names entail and im geussing i have to save about 2- 3000 to start this swap im geussing but will 2 to 3000 also install a working turbo i just want my car for the rest of my life and want it to mash...its a 89 rs convertible stick
if i get a donor car with a lt1/t56 will i be able to use ecm,harness,trans,mounts,fuel system exhaust? or are all of those needed elsewhere anyways

Remember Pocket, he's in California so it would be similar to an LSx swap for him, having to retain all the smog equipment, vapor canister, cats and all. I don't even know if putting a turbo on an LT1 in California is legal or not.
If you can find a car with a LT1/T56 you would be better off, but since the '93 model is totally different than the '94+ models you would can also find a '94+ wiring harness and transmission to go with the LT1 out of the '93 car you are looking at.
