I just got a LS1 and 4l60e for my 92 RS, the motor has 88,000 miles and came out of an 99 TA!



Believe it or not this TA still runs and drives!!!

 

Welcome aboard!

Sounds like you have a nice project on your hands. Keep us posted on your swap results.

 

schweet... good luck on the swap!

if you have any questions, just post them up.


btw, are you planning on running the stock wiring harness?
what are your plans for the fuel system?

 

Stock wiring harnes yes and the fuels system out of the car that the motor and tranny are coming out of!

can I just put the LS1 in the car without the AC and shorter belt?
And will the LS1 radiator go in the the third gen with using the stuff from the third gen!

 

You should be able to find your answer with a few searches here on TGO. Most guys re-use their stock radiator.

 

The LS1 radiator will not fit with out some work and some custom brackets to hold it in. The a/c compressor is on a different belt off of the crank all together, so just removed the compressor and the compressor belt and you use the stock other belt and are good to go.

Yea I'm going to try to fab something too make it work the other radiator I have is from a V6! thanks for the info!

 

It'll be nice to lay down 350 HP and still get 20 MPG!!!

I'm jealous...... Congrats!!

 

will the v6 radiator work just as well or should I get one out of a v8!

 

THE LS1 IS LOOSE!!

Here is a pic of the stock heads going in on a core for some stage III's


And here is one of the the 4l60e that going with it!

 

91-92 thirdgens came with the v8 radiator. Im using my 91 v6's original radiator with my lt1.

 

Cool, I would still like to rig up the LS1 radiator before I settle with the third gens!

 

ls1 radiator fits with a little tweeking.

its angled a little more, but its also angled more in the 4thgen.

 

what radiator shroud are you using with the LS1 radiator!

 

I used the LS1 radiator. Just fabbed up a peice of sheet metal that bolted into stock holes and over and down. I'll try to get a pic.

 

Here is some of the body about a month away from paint! floor board will be all new metal and it will be painted with POR 15!
All emblems and corner lights are shaved


Shaved Door handles and locks

Sun Roof no more

 

The roof is in and starting to come together


Soon the whole inside will be painted with Rust Bullet!

 

Here is the pics after the first coat!

 

I'd like to hear more about rust bullet as I'm planning on coating my whole chasis with it.

Did you brush on or spary on? Is the silver stuff the rust bullet or does it dry more white?

Nice setup by the way...and you are pretty good at what you do as I would have been scared of the sunroof and less so the floor.

 

It comes out silver and I think thats the only color I sprayed I do paint and body so It was easier that way for me cleans up with laquer thinner For more info on rust bullet go to http://rustbullet.com/?trackcode=bizcom
