Re: need help with motor swap info

First, think this is the wrong subthread as this is for LSX/LTX swaps.

What do you mean the frame is shot? Is it overly rusted? Bent?

90-92 with ease. Any other years with modification and due diligence. I'm thinking you'd have to swap everything (EVERYTHING) to make it work.

The right rear floor section where the trailing arm bolts up has seperated , allowing the axle to move forwards n backwards. The car has been removed from road duty for everyones sake.

The mechanicals fit just about everything 82-92

Electronics are a direct fit for 90-92
88-89 are similar, 85-87 EFI cars still in the running
82-85 cars and 86-87 carb cars are problematic for adapting EFI
