Thinking about an LS1 in my 82 T/A, need help.
Now I've been thinking about this for a while now & am seriously thinking about adding an LS1 to my 82' Trans-Am. Now I know for the swap I need.
The LS1 Engine, wiring harness & Computer-Classic Industries #G3510
Engine Mounts-I'm thinking of using Classic Induestries #4592
Is that all I'd need to put an LS1 into my car? I tried looking up LS1 Swap Threads on here, but couldn't find anything that I thought would help me. Nor was Classic Industries of any help. They just say the kit fits 67-81 cars, but Trans Dapt has the same kit, but don't say that. As long as I get the engine bolted into the car I think I should be able to get it figured out from there. Can anyone help me please? Thanks!

You also need the correct transmission mounts
And if you get all sensors with it your set
I recoomend getting a stand alone harness ( can find one on ebay)
Besides the heap of wiring and doing something with the rear coil near the heater box it isnt a big deal from what ive seen

Did you check out the LSx/LTx swap section of this forum? They have a FAQ with some links, one was http://www.speartech.com that has a white Iroc that they did the swap with, and took it to the track after doing some mods to it. pretty impressive wright up.

Hawks Third Gen has absolutely everything you need. Now, a lot of people on this board have done business with them and would never go back just to give you a heads up, but personally, they have been very pleasant to deal with. Again thats just my opinion, but it wont hurt checkin em out. Sphon also has everything you need, but they're on the more expensive side... good luck man that's an incredible swap.
