Yes i would like to know if this is a good deal. You can buy it at $1900. Also will this just drop in in place of a 305 tbi without any extra parts since it comes with everything? If not then what has to be done for it to work?

oh my ***, that is a very very sweet deal. that 6 speed alone is worth 1900, and it only has 573 miles! sphon has a custom crossmember and torque arm for a 6 speed swap. you will need that.

you need to jump on that deal Longer91Cam!

Yeah but what else do i need to get for it to work? What things will i need to change on my fuel system and such? Also does it look like that engine comes with everything i need already? Like the alternator and stuff like that? Thanks

im not sure of everything you will need, but i am sure of the cross memer and torque arm.

your motor mounts are probably gonna be different also.

your feul pump definatly wont work. you will need one that has more pressure. your TBI only needs like 15psi or so but an ls1 will need at least 40 psi.

if you have an automatic you will need a master clutch cylinder and a cluth/break pedal assembly, which you can get from a salvaged third gen.

Try visiting the LS1 swap sticky at the top of the board. It answers all your questions and more.

I think thats why nobody has taken it, is that thing scorching hot or what???

500 miles, 6 speed, doesnt add up to 1900, more like 3900 or thereabouts.
