'95 LT1, under 40k, all accessories/harness/pcm
Lots of upgrades comin

 

nice if you're ever near orland park, i'd love to check it out someday.

 

I should be around Orland in the summer. I'm always cruisin' all around...w/ my mods w/ this project...it'll be more like "hunting" than "Cruising" :lala:

 

Congratulations. LT1 thirdgens really seem to move.

 

Thanks for the compliment

 

just make sure it is a 350 under all that, looks just like the baby lt1 in my dads caprice. everything is the same excupt the ci.

 

looks like you got pretty much the exact same thing I did. '95 LT1 with all accessories, ECM, and harness with about 30K miles on it, on a wooden pallet

 

Timz2882: What's the deal w/ the "smaller" LT1? There wasn't even an option for anything BUT a 5.7 350 V8. In any model cars w/ a LT1 engine option, it was either the 350, or a V6.

 

The only other option was the L99 for Caprice. That was a 265cu.in. engine in 94-96 production years.

 

Just verified, and I know for a FACT it's a LT1...lol...it has "327" cast on each side...got me worried there a minute actually, lol:lala:

 

yeah the l99 or the 265ci is a baby lt1. when ever the snow is cleared here i snag a few pics ofthe motor in my dads caprice. setup exzactly like an lt1 but with alot few ci's.

good thing that u do have a lt1.

 

The used the same block. If it's got aluminum heads you're OK. There's no way to tell the difference from the outside. You could get the 265 or 350 in the caprice and they look identical. ONLY 5.7's came with aluminum heads though.

 

Are you planning on putting a 6 speed as well?

 

It looks more like an F-Body LT1 rather than a Caprice LT1.

You can tell by the alternator bracket.

I don't think the 265 uses the same Block as a 350 LT1 either, I believe the 265 uses a 3.75 inch bore rather than a 4 inch bore.

 

Drastius: Your right, the L99 has a 3.75" bore.

It is in FACT from a '95 T/A.

86z/92rs: I'm planning on using a race built 4L60e w/ a 3k converter.

 

Here's the progress pics, as of now:

 

sweet! How much did it run ya? I have been thinking about doing this swap myself. I found a couple motors for $750 each, with all accessories, but with 70k on the clock.

 

While you have it all apart, consider using the meziere or csi electric pump..

removes abit of stress off the front cam bearing and makes and makes any type of cooling system mainentance easy..

plus about 7 extra rwhp..

also you can use a real double roller timing chain.

 

I was thinkin' about the Cloyes Double Roller and CSI...call me paranoid, but I don't like the idea of an electric w/p. I'm sure the LT4 Timing set w/ a new w/p will be just fine. Lots of stuff in store for this thing

 

I meant to say they all have the 327 on the side of the block. Not sure what it means, but it's on 305's, 350's, LT1's and L99's....pretty much most small blocks. The PS pump is different on the impala/caprice motors too.

 

OMG, sorry a little offtopic, BUT WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR TOOLBOX????

I just about jizzed when I saw it, I'm in love I think.

btw nice engine

 

each to his own.. fwiw though my meziere has lasted through 10k of daily driving and the car is always at 170.. can't fault either decision.

 

What's up with your motormount in the 2nd last pic?

 

Same thing that is up w/ the dirty pistons/etc...I'm not DONE...lol...4th gen mounts that have to GO

 

ima say... sams club. w00t. guy at my work has one. its NICE, ball bearing, trust me, tis nice.

 

I was waiting for someone to answer that one...lol...Nice job You are correct sir!

 

Damn, we don't got sames club up here only Wal-Mart and I work there . The chests from them are crappy though, is this one any better? I meant he ones we have the drawers fall out and dont work right, its pretty ****ty deal. If yours works good do you have a Part number or name/info for it?

 

It's a SteelTek....It's AWESOME. All ball bearing rollers. Stainless Steel drawers, handles, and frame, Anti-Slip sheets for the drawers, piston lift top drawer...I can't recall what the actual model number is, I'll have to check later

 

how much $$$$?

 

600

 

Thanks , I'ma see if we can special order it in 10% discount will help with that pricetag a little bit too.

 

Looks like some fun, hey nice garage you got there.
