Re: lt1 swap and smog

just check with your local smog referee and they can and will give you the information to do the swap legally.

Re: lt1 swap and smog

You need *EVERYTHING* from the LT1 car, including all emissions components and maybe even the gas tank depending on the LT1 is setup, I'm not really sure. Then you have to get it examined by a smog ref who will pick it apart with a fine tooth comb to make sure you got everything from the newer car.

And spend another grand+ on random stuff as you run in circles trying to track down all the nickel and dime crap you need to make your swap smog legal? You need to think it through a bit more than that. Really the only time you should consider an LT1/LS1 swap for a thirdgen should be if you have a donor car right there next to you to take parts from. $1500 for an LT1/T56 isn't even that amazing of a deal.

I suggest you spend that $1500 on your L98.

Re: lt1 swap and smog

Well it is a deal i know i can get it for 1200 easy,it comes with the wiring harness and the pcm. I mean I would mod my L98 but it will still be slow compared to a lt1/ls1,i'll have some one do the wiring for me and all i have to worry about is the emission stuff which should be easy

Re: lt1 swap and smog

actually stock for stock an LT1 is't much faster than an L98 car. I used to beat most LT1 cars back when my Iroc was running. LT1's have more of a topend than the L98.

I say save your $$$ for a GenIII or put your $$$ in the L98
