89 Firebird Reshell

I just bought a complete 95 Formula Firebird. The engine has some timing issues but nothing that should be too difficult. I want to use it to reshell my 89 Firbird that I blew the engine in. My question is, what all extra will I need to buy?

Did you read the lt1 sticky at the top of the forum?

Yes, which covered the swap but I couldn't find anything on re-shelling in particular.

Re: 89 Firebird Reshell

If not a swap, then what do you mean by reshell?

Re: 89 Firebird Reshell

It's the swap, but alot of the stuff doesn't apply. I'm literally going to have every part from the 4th gen, so i was wondering if anyone knew what additional things I would have to get.

Re: 89 Firebird Reshell

OK So I guess I should have read more before posting. Apparently I need the headers and to do some modification to the AC system.
