COMPLETE WIRE SWAP TO 95LT1

I HAVE A COMPLETE WIRING HARNESS FROM 95 FIREBIRD HEADLIGHTS TO TAIL LIGHTS WITH LT1 FOR MY 86 T/A HAS ANYONE EVER TRIED A SWAP LIKE THIS ONE ??? AND CAN I USE A FRONT END OUT OF A 95 ON A 86 OR THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES WITH MY 4 WHEEL DISKS THAT ARE ON THE 86

ANY TIPS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Anything is possible, but why goto that much of a hassle?

No, the front suspension pieces will not work on a 3rd gen, it's a rack and pinion setup instead of steering box and the front spindles are different as well and they won't bolt up either.

just put the motor and tranny in using the f-body engine harness, you can't put the ABS stuff in a 3rd gen, nobody makes rotors that have the reluctor ring in them.

Re: COMPLETE WIRE SWAP TO 95LT1

The reluctor rings aren't the problem. S10s use the same rotor with rings. The problem is the wheel sensor. Mounting it is where people tend to give up. It was discussed at length a few years ago and deemed too much trouble. That would be a whole lot of work to change all of the wiring. I belive someone did it with an LS1 swap.
