I need some help
Okay, i have a few questions about an LT1 swap i may do.
I have a chance to buy an LT1 from a 93 z28 with 75,000 miles on it. I will only get the complete engine(minus manifolds andy-pipe) He does not have the harness or ecm.
The harness is no big deal, painless has a harness for like 300 for this project.
I asuume i can use a 700r4, correct? I also know i need to find an ecm from a 93.
I am aware of the ac issues, not sure if i can live without it, or maybe notch the frame and get the adaptor the changes the line direction.
Will the painless harnes give me everything i need to hook everything back up(i.e. i want to make sure all my guages work and all that stuff)
What headers would you reccomend?
Is the motor worth 550?
Any help or tips would be great,
thanks again
