Re: 91 camaro ls3 swap
Get a Direct Port LS3 Hidden NX System, it looks like a stock LS3 intake w/ all plumbing hidden inside, then put the bottle in the spare tire compartment and you will be 100% stealth!!!! But do upgrade those rod bolts!!!! ARP!!

Hello everyone
I’m new to this whole swapping engines thing, I have a 91 with a 5.7. i’m interested in doing an LS3 swap, I live in Valencia which is in Southern California. i’m looking for companies are mechanics who have done this plenty of times to save myself the headache and money of trying to figure this out as a first timer. Recommendations would be greatly appreciate it as I’m excited to get this project going.

You may want to start your own thread, so as not to take over someone else's.
But seriously, welcome and search, search, search

Re: 91 camaro ls3 swap
So, would a good functional and clean look be C6 accessories and the 4th gen A/C? I’m planning on a truck LQ9 swap w/862 heads and figure I better do A/C or the wife will never ride with me and I’ll also need the defrost for when it rains. I’ve read where the truck A/C is not compatible (not sure why). Thanks!

Re: 91 camaro ls3 swap
The model of accessories have to match the AC style as the offsets are different.
The C6 accessories work very well & the entire kit is still reasonable proiced.
The C6 AC works if you cut the frame for clearance.
You can also get the highmount AC, such as offered by LSX Concepts to prevent frame mods.

Re: 91 camaro ls3 swap
Thanks for the info. This is going to be a budget build to an extent (from which I can control) and am wondering if the more reasonable approach is all 4th gen brackets/accessories from a junkyard, but maybe relocating the A/C compressor so that I don’t have to mod the K member.
I’m new to the forums and haven’t done a lot of searching. It’s prob already discussed somewhere but figured I’d ask back to an active member who’s in the know. Thanks!

Re: 91 camaro ls3 swap
As for the wiring harness i am using the gm conversion swap harness. The wheel wells are undercoated with 3m undercoating. For prep work i used grease and wax remover with a scotch brite pad. I know i will be satisfied with the cam. Im hoping to be about 480 rwhp with motor alone. I also have a 100 hp shot on top of that. Ill attach some pictures of the car for you guys. -Tim
