LTX and LSXPutting LT1s, LS1s, and their variants into Third Gens is becoming more popular. This board is for those who are doing and have done the swaps so they can discuss all of their technical aspects including repairs, swap info, and performance upgrades.
I don't quite no how to start this really other than the fact that. I recently bought myself a 91 Camaro RS 305 TBI. And thought I log the progress and what I do to the car here on the forums. Starting at the beginning when I was talking to my coworker about cars he has owned the past and brought up the fact about his old Camaro that has been sitting for 10+ years. Me being a car guru was quite curious about his vehicle and did my research and found out how cool of a car it is. Well unfortunate events happened and his house burnt down and the Camaro was only scuffed up since it was luckily parked outside. Found out the car didn't run and needed quite a bit of work a challenge I was wanting. Well weeks later finally got it in a running driving condition with lots of hiccups and decided to pull the "life support" plug. Leaving me with where I am now the beginning process of doing an LS engine swap as well as a T56 swap. This post will continue to be updated with what I have done to it and future plans.
Current Plans:
LQ4 6.0L Swap
T56 Swap
Rims and Tires (More info next post)
2012-2013 ZL1 Big Brake Upgrade
Future Plans:
Sonoco Style Hood, 4th Gen Mirrors, and 5 Inch Duck Tail Spoiler
Corvette C7 Admiral Blue Metallic Paint Job.
Full UMI Performance Suspension.
Maybe? Detroit Speed 4 Link Rear Suspension.
4th Gen Firebird Dash, Center Console, Door Panels. (I know its a Camaro I just like the Firebird interior better. My coworkers son has a 99 Firebird with a LS1 and T56 love that interior and performance).
Hope you all enjoy this build log and if you have any suggestions or ideas please reply or PM me. I will be more than happy to read them.
