I know yall are gonna tell me to do a search and i have which is why i am posting this question, but what all do i need to swap to a LT1 from a 5.0L TPI. please list everything if possible, how to do it yourself websites or articles would be greatly appreciated

 

Um, about the only thing that swaps from one engine to the other is the motor mounts. You could keep some of the sensors I guess but try to get an LT1 that has a complete harness, makes life much easier.

 

i was gonna buy the LT1 off of Third Gen Resource

 

If you get one from them, it should come complete with the accessories, harness, and ECM, which is all you need. You wont even need to change fuel pumps since you've already got the high pressure one. The only major thing that will be changed is the wiring harnesses.

Um, just thought of something, do you have a manual or auto? If you've got an auto I think you have to run an '93 LT1 throttle body to have the right connections for the 700R4.

 

i have an auto but i was gonna do the T56 swap with the lt1

 

Ok, that simplifies things a little bit, but you'll obviously have to swap pedal assemblies, not too hard from what I hear.

 

yeah, i'm not too worried about the tranny swap, the LT1 is my big thing
