I am going to put a LT1 from a 4th gen in my car and i was wondering if i could put 4th gen gauges in a third gen dash? I would swap the whole pannel but size wise, i dont know if it could fit, any suggestions? thanks

 

To answer your question, im sure it could happen, i saw a 3rd gen with the whole 4th gen dash and all but i dont know if just the pod could go in without to much work, im sure if you really wanted to you could fabricate somthing.

But why?? lol

 

I see your point, after to talking to someone, i have decided to go with stock V8 gauges from a 91 r 92 camaro and get a calibration box, anyone know where i can get the box? thanks

 

y would u need the complete gauges? and what do u need the calibration box for?? for the v8 swap, all u would need is the tach from a v8.. although the 145 speedo would be nice too tho..

I told him he may need a calibration box for the speedometer cause i believe the LT1/4L60E that he will be using has a different pulse sender.

 

Z28racer knows what he is talking about, thats why i asked but i found one from rksport for 125, i think i will email them later and see if that one will work because it says that it will work for all late model camaros, Thanks Z28racer, your info has helped me alot!!

 

Heres one that will work if you do in fact need one, http://www.dakotadigital.com/Detail....rtNumber=SGI-5

 

i learn something new everytime i come to this site.. i thought the speed sensor on 4th gens was on one of the front wheels and was the same on both v6 and v8, auto and manual.. but i could be very wrong on that..

 

I <3 ***** too!


anyways, i was curious about swapping auges, because then you could get indiglo, etc, etc..... and the whole dash, i dunno.


am i wack? plus then you dont need the painless wiring kit?

 

actually, that just opened my eyes, i wouldnt have to use the painless wiring kit, maby i will go with 4th gen gauges, if there is a will, there is a way, i can make it happen, i just need to get one right now so that i can measure it up, give me a few weeks and i will see if i can meake it fit.

 

Did that guy ever get them to work in his 3rdgen, the guy w/ the convertible that put the 4th Gen Dash/Console in his ride? I don't remeber seeing anything about it... I will try to find out some info, hold on a sec...

 

 

Loom i believe you're thinking of the exciter rings for the ABS system, 1stgen: i tried fitting my 94' gauge panel into a 90-92 dash before i sold it, its too big, would take far too much work, if anything get some nice autometers, and fab a panel to fit them.

 

Now you're getting a LT1? what happened to the TPI you were getting from the 3rd Gen? What happened to the LS6 you were getting? You change your mind more than my fiance. Hey what will it be next week? A rocker booster attached to your V6? I thought you were getting a body kit, what happened to the stroker you were talking about? I'm sorry, I don't usually flame, but everytime I read one of your posts I start laughing. People at work look at me funny! look at the previos post about a tv in the car. Agghh, I'm not even gonna get started. Have a nice day.

 

actually, it was a LS1, not an LS6 ***. ANd also, your just a little *****, because i have money and i am going to do things to my car, u dont have to flame. I always change my mind, but i have alreayd ordered parts for the LT1 swap so that is what i am going to do,there was to much involved the the ls1 swap, and the evoluzion is a waste of money, so if your dont have anything to contribute to this thread, shut up, you dont help it any, all u do is act like an ***. O, any shows how much u look at my stuff, when did i ever talk about a strokerNEVER, u find somewhere wher ei talked about getting a stroker and then i will shut up, but u wont, i have never talked about getting one, your just a little b*tch

 

hehehehehehehehehehehe.
I'm not so little buddy.


Just a thought.

And if I remember correctly it was an LS6 before the LS1, but yes, I could be wrong.

 

can you feel the love in the air!

 

sounds like a counrty song.

 

Forgive my newbness, but there's a plethora of 3rd-gen F-body nomenclature that I am totally unfamilure with. Someone please educate me:

What the hell does this mean?? <---I outta just use this smily as my avatar.

So does this mean you will shut up now? You said it not me.

 

Ack!! wh00p, nevermind, LoL, I see the avatar now. Yea I dig that.

 

ANt that something, u got me there, i never even remembered saying that, o well, it doesnt matter, u actually spent the time to go and look for it

 

 

LMAO.....

 

just countin down till then fiream!

 

Well, I didn't go look for it, but same difference. Let us know when the LT1 is in.

 

I get bored at work... this vbulletin system is very nice. Only takes a few minutes to find something on search or through members profiles. One nice thing would be if you could click on "see all users posts" and instead of doing individual replies and listing the same thread over and over, to just showing a list of all subscribed threads for that person. Since people usually post mulitple times to the same thread. I like the see all post feature cause I can read through a members posts that has something specific to there car that they might post to multiple threads that could help me in research for my car projects.

 

what can i say... its a way of life..

 

amen brother!

 

1st gen racer....you have to be one of those little rich boys...EVO body kit...LS1...TV....383 stroker....where do u get all this $$???

thats all i have to say....

im 16...and i have spent MY money on my car...my parents HAVE NOT given me a fricken dime....i bought the car...insurance and i buy AND INSTALL all of the mods....

DABE

 

I swear I feel storped! I read that as "I less than three ***** too!!"

Sic the killer rabbit with nasty big pointy teeth on me now!

 

Yo dude I saw this and I decided to save it, it obviously can be done! But why go for the 93-96 Panel, I like the 97-up ones so much better, they aren't cheap, I am assuming u want the dash that came with an LT1, which would be 93-96 or 95, i dunno which it is, but i hate the early fourthgen dash, well now that you've listened to my complain about it, heres' your pic, i believe this is a 92 camaro with a newer fourthgen dash in it:

 

I dont mind that interior its pretty cool, how much that cost you. I bet at least $1000. First I got other things to worry about! Like my college payments, my new car payment for my second firebird and insurance. SO right now I'm straped for cash, I make good money using my S10 to deliver pizzas but hell I go to school too. Hopefully one day I will finish modding both my cars, my V6 upgaded to a ZZ4 or a 3.4L w/ NOS and a turbo of some sort. And like a Turbo or a ZZ4 for my formula with all the goodies. But for now its my school, so eventually I can get all the goodies plus a vette after I graduate from college.

 

Hey, are we sure that the links stuart69427 posted are really a third gen with a forth gen interior? Cause if that's the case...dang it! My world just got a whole lot better!

 

Yes that it is really a thridgen. I can't remember who is was. I think his name was Kristian from the Netherlands. He was one of the first people to do the swap. I know there is some more specific info in older posts.

 

Just from that pic, the outside door handle and the sideview mirrors give away that its a thirdgen, plus do a search and you'll find some more info

 

I just saw that, WOW, is that a really hard swap to do that interior? I can get the interior out of a 1995 camaro from a friend for less than $300

 

run a search up in the top right... there is about a million posts about it. Alot of people are switching out their interiors. There was guy name buickGSXsomething or other than did an awesome job in a bird. Not sure if he finished the setup or not.

 

Do a search, you'll find info on 72BuickGSX, he has a tech article on his site that describes the process in detail.

$300, d@mn that a good price!!

 

Hey you beat me, but anyways, here is the site:
