Yes you can swap in a '93 LT1, but when you're done you will need to go to the state referee and have the car inspected. They are very detailed and you must have EVERYTHING installed that a '93 f-body came with. I would recommend going to the referee with the stock LT1 manifolds first and then swapping in Don's headers later, as the regular smog techs are not as strict.
