You will need a new fuel pump. Get the 94 harness and computer. Save yourself some hassle and get the 94 computer reprogrammed for your needs and delete the VATS crap. You will need to address the fuel line connections. I myself purchased new lines from the wheel well connection to the fuel rail with LT1 specific rail connectors. One question, are you keeping A/C or not?

if youve done it 100 times and knew exactly what you were doing, 2 days would be a estimate for that. its the sheer number of details to take care of thats the problem


if you arnt 100% prepared beforehand, id say thats impossible.. i mean, you would need the wiring ready, the fuel line adapters made, ect.....

How will the 1994 ECM/PCM deal with a non 4L60E tranny?

All it will do is the TC lockup.
