lt1

Can and lt1 and 6 speed be swapped into a 82 z28 or do I need a newer car with the computer stuff. Just want to know as then I would start building up the suspsion and get a good rear. How hard would it be, how much for low mile lt1 and 6 speed setup, would a wrecked parts car be cheaper? Thanks

I would check out the info that you moderators provided at the top of this page. Also a quick search with the words "LT1 swap" in them will give you enough info to read for days. This gets asked every day and there is tons of great info out there that has already been covered.

Is it possible - Yes
How much - Depends on a trillion factors

Nah Shifty, the "how hard is it?" part is easy to answer...just need young82 to answer one simple question:

young82z28, tell us *everything* you know about automotive repair and diagnostics, and we'll be able to tell you how hard it will be.
