Ok, I got ahold of a LT1 out of a 94 firebird, that im going to put into my 92 rs. Im gonna be using it with my stock 700r4 for now. Ive got a couple questions though,

What radiator setup will I need to use? I definetaly cant use the stock setup cuz that deal isnt really even that great for my 305.

Will I be able to use my stock converter? Its got about a 16-1800 stall on it

Thats it for as of the moment, and im sorry if these questions were answered in the stickys somewhere, I looked and couldnt find em

 

I've used a 1500 stall in my '95 Z28, with 2.73:1 rear gears. It's not an issue. Spend more thought on upgrading the exhaust system.

 

you can use a third gen radiator or an LT1 fbody radiator, but you want to have dual fans. you could just buy some flex-a-lites or something and put them on your stocker if the core is fine.

Ive got the hedman headersand y-pipe already that from what everybody is sayin will fit. Then the cat is deleted and its got a decent muffler.

I can get a radiator and fan assembly from a 93 bird for 90 bucks from the local junk yard, will that fit?

 

that sounds good.

 

4th gen radiators are actually smaller than 3rd gen V8's, but will still cool fine. Cooling problems on your LO3 would be from a bad fan switch and/or broken/missing front air dam

Use a 93 LT1 TB or get the TV adapter kit
TV cable from a 93 LT1 or 90-92 TPI 4L60
Vacuum lockup switch from BTO or similar company

Stock converter will work fine
