Car in question is in the sig.

My rear locked up suddenly and without warning a few weeks ago while driving 50 mph down the road. Torque Arm, Rear end, rear shocks, rear springs, fuel lines, brake lines, u-joints, yokes, driveshaft, and transmission all went with it within the few seconds after it decided to blow. Not to mention, some how a hole was ripped into the bottom of the car.

I believe the frame was compromised during all this as well and honestly I just don't want to pour all that money back into it. So I'm considering saving the LT1 to swap into a cheap project third gen.

I pretty much have a complete LT1 4th gen to pull parts from so what are some of the things that I will need to "fill in the blanks" swapping engines?

I'll have the engine
A full LT1 engine wiring harness
Fans
Radiator
ECU
Fuel pump
Power steering reservoir
Front brake pads, calipers, and rotors
Even a complete interior

The things that cannot be reused are the things that I mentioned before. So anything you think I can swap over lemme know.

I want to try to make as much of my stuff carry over to the 3rd gen as I can. I already have long tubes, is there some way to make them fit into a 3rd gen? I plan on putting in an X-pipe so I won't reuse my ORY which I believe won't fit anyway. My A/C never worked so I'm just going to delete that out. So I should be able to use stock motor mounts in a 3rd gen without A/C right? How would I plumb the PS? So what will I have to get that I cannot pull out of the donor car?

 

You'll be able to make good use of pretty much all of that.

 

dont think you can reuse the headers but im not sure.
