I'm planing on swapping a LT1 into my 1991 RS (305 TBI). Am I missing any parts on my parts list?

Lt1 engine
Wiring harness
ECM
A/c relocation or frame notch.
PS lines
Fuel lines
Fuel pump
Intake ducting
1.625" or larger Headers

other parts I may need...

Motor mounts
hoses
flywheel

Items added to list:

TPI throttle cable.
T56 Swap cross-member
Clutch hydraulics
Clutch assembly


Thanks-

Eric

 

Looks like a start there will be some nickel and dime stuff always is. You need 1 5/8 or bigger for the headders.

 

1.625" and 1 5/8" are the same thing.

 

TPI throttle cable

What trans will be behind it?

 

I'm eyeing a LT1 T-56 parts car so most likely a T56.

 

Would a throttle cable from the LT1 donor vehicle work (1994 Trans Am)

It will if you bend the gas pedal, it's easiest to get one from a '90-'92 TPI car.

 

I plan to use the 4th gen pedals would I still have to bend the gas pedal? also, how much would it have to be bent? an inch, 6 inches?

Thanks for the help-

Eric

 

1/2-1" just enough to achieve WOT

Using the 3rd gen cable, a nub on the LT1 bracket must be filed down

Using the 4th gen calbe, a washer must be installed on the firewall and the pedal arm bent slightly

 

Thanks!

 

I went to chevy and got a cable for a '91 Z28 (cost me like 20 bucks), also using 4th gen pedals and it fit just perfect, no bending or anything.

 

only $20, I'll have to look into that, any chance you have a part number?

Thanks-

Eric
