Re: A List of LSx/LTx Swaps on thirdgen.org
Here is my LS swap thread into my 1985 IROC... it covers over a couple of years my initial LS376/480 crate engine swap, then heads /cam, and now adding TVS2300 magnacharger

Re: A List of LSx/LTx Swaps on thirdgen.org
jbenge I got your link added to the list, thanks.
Did you have a swap link you wanted to share? Paste in your link in your reply and I'll add it to the list.
five7kid, thanks that's much better, I just removed the two words "LS1 Swap" before the #1 and #2 since it is under the LSx Swap list.
fast377 I got your link added to the list, thanks.

Re: A List of LSx/LTx Swaps on thirdgen.org
White '89 I got yours added to the list, I didn't know what you started with and it looks like you ended up with a 4L60e tranny... Let me know what I missed.
ShMaCk2004 I got your link added but I didn't know what you started out with... I think it's good to have that info available.
Be sure to correct me if I get info wrong.
Thanks all!

I vote sticky... This thread could get a lot of attention though so it might not drop too far down.
Just to update my info if you want...
87 Trans AM was a 305TPI/700R4 car.
86 Trans AM was a 305 LG4/700R4 car.

The link you have in the first post to Pocket's swap #2 doesn't work for me. I'm using Firefox and it tries to link to something that looks like:

I re-pasted his links from his post below the main post and fixed it right up. There's a good example of why it's a good idea to plug your own thread.

Here is my whole car build, it cronicles T-top sheet metal repair, floor board repair, T5 swap, hydroboost swap, axle build, interior redo, and of course, my LT1/T56 swap. I have to post up some completed pics since I just got the car back on the road.

Car is currently a 355 (.030 over 350) with a T5. The new transmission is still up in the air... T56 or T56 Magnum (T6060). I should be deciding soon, but as of right now, it's still open.

Lt1 swaps are not as involved as a lsx swap but still alot of questions come up. Very good and easy swap to do.

Thank you newZman for getting this done. It's what I was trying to accomplish when a bunch of negativity shot me down. I am glad to see that your request was met with approval and appreciation! This IS no doubt the useful resource I was aiming for. Good work my LSX Brother! Thanks also to everyone who contributed positively to both of our threads. I will get up alink to mine when there is a little more progress to share.

Ahh, you know how it is.. someone said something stupid, I responded in like manner, the next thing ya know people kinda missed the whole point because the thread was hi-jacked by egos.
My attempt was to start a thread hilighting LS1 swaps. I even suggested it would make a great stickie. LOL Apparently, we agree.
Good to hear you will be making progress now.

Sorry for delayed response folks, I will be better in the future

25thAnn_RS, I am going to add your swap to the list after I respond here. It looks like a pretty nice car to start with,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
bears416, I am as new as you, probably newer than you. I have found all the help I ever wanted right here on TGO. Post your question in the appropriate board and you should get a quick response, no garantees though.
Get your swap posted and add it to the list.
