Shopping List for LT1 Swap
Ok so '89 camaro RS, currently has a 305 in it, TH-350 Automatic Transmission. Trying to figure out parts that I need in order to swap the engine from a '95 Trans-Am, the engine comes with the wiring and computer, so what else would I need? Please correct what I have / help me figure it all out if you can, this is really my first time working on a car, I'm doing this to learn a bit..
Current Parts List - (Suggestions/Help Welcome!)
Fuel Lines (http://www.performanceplumbing.com/FuelLineKits.html)
Motor Mounts (http://www.jegs.com/p/Prothane/Proth...62289/10002/-1)
Power Steering Lines & Reservoir (http://www.jegs.com/p/Borgeson/Borge...60616/10002/-1)
Fuel Pump (http://www.jegs.com/p/BBK/BBK-Hi-Flo...52953/10002/-1)
Dual Electric Fans (http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/JEGS-Dual...14845/10002/-1)
Questions -
And I would need to tune the computer up right? I have heard of programs that I could use from my laptop to do this simply by connecting a cable.
Also, I was told my TH-350 would bolt up to the LT1, is this correct?
And one more thing.. I've got a wiring problem, probably going to need to replace the wiring harness that runs to the fusebox, headlights, radio, high-beams, turn signals.. all of that stuff. What wiring harness(es) would I need? The original ones or the LT1 harnesses? And also links to this would be helpful.
Thanks!

Re: Shopping List for LT1 Swap
MHO I would scratch the list you can get fule lines cheaper and unless you need new mounts scratch it. I have read (mabey ls1 swap) that the poly mounts will make the headders awful close if not rub the a/c box. You can use the power steering pump off the LT1 and a PS line from a lt1 caprice. Search here and other places you can get dual fans for around $70.
Also check this out it may answer any more questions you have
