Ok so I pulled my Tpi setup and ordered a LS1 from a 99 vette. I also ordered a 4l60e from a 98 camaro. They should be here in a week or so. I ordered the spohn motor mounts and the auto tranny crossmember. I read that the corvette oilpan wont fit so does anyone have a suggestion for me.

 

Here are some pics of the engine bay. It is primed right now I havent decided what i want to do with it yet.

 

With a tubular K, the 'vette pan MIGHT fit. Steve Spohn says it will. I think the next step with that approach, is a challenging exhaust setup.
Another way is to get a Camaro oil pan setup (inc scraper).
You will have to notch your cross member. You MAY also need to hammer it a bunch, for the 'Ro oilpan to fit. This was covered here not long ago, and other times, too.
Nose around, some great stuff and pictures.

 

ya i will continue looking (i have read most of the posts in this section) I will look into the camaro oil pan.

 

do you mean the LS1 stock camaro oil pan and what do you mean by INC scraper. Thanks

 

Got the engine in last night.

 

oilpan clearance and some before pics

 

more pics

 

new seats

 

inc= including
There is a scraper with the oil pan setups.
Sorry, it has been a year since you asked.

 

wow i love those seats, where did u get them, what are they from and how much

 

You mean windage tray, not scraper. Be sure to get the matching Fbody pick-up tube

Oilpan clearance depends on engine mounts used and where they locate the engine (forward/back)

 

Ya i figured that out I got the complete windage tray, pickup and pan

 

I bought them from a LS1 tech member for $400 I believe they are out of an 01 camaro.

 

I AM TRYING TO DO THE SAME SWAP.I have a 2001 corvette motor its a long block.can you please help me with my project

 

Here's a good start:

1 - (Please) don't use ALL CAPS, that's interpreted as "shouting" - IOW, it comes across as rude.

2 - Click on this link, it contains all of the basic information that you'll need to know in order to do this swap. It wouldn't be a bad idea to read it several times.

3 - When you have questions, start your own thread, rather than "piggybacking" on someone else's - that's the best way to keep from getting your info mixed in with someone else's. PLUS, when/if you can't recall a certain piece of data regarding your swap, it's all there in one place - your thread.

4 - If that's what you're starting with, you're going to need to be patient, persistent, & to be able to spend a bit more than someone who's starting out with a complete engine/transmission from an F-body. You'll need a different oil pan, serpentine setup, exhaust manifolds, etc. than what comes with the Corvette engine (that's assuming that you even have any of those right now). On the plus side, the intake manifold will work (again, assuming that you even have that right now).

And unfortunately, those parts are pretty popular, since F-body pieces work for a number of different swaps, so they're not the easiest to find, & when you do find 'em, you've gotta jump on the deal quickly, so they're not the cheapest parts out there either. (Trust me, I've fought those battles, since I started out with a truck setup.) BUT, from everything I've been told, the end result is worth it. (I'm finally starting to think that just MAYBE I can see the finish line off in the far distance...)

Good luck.

 

But yes I can help you. Just let me know what you need to know

 

nice! what did you do about your pedal ?
and what radiator is that?
