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 have all the 4th gen parts with my LS1 that I could put into my 1990, but My LS1 has traction control. That's a no go, am I right?
However, I thought I'd read that a stand alone cruise module (no T/C) would integrate with my stock controls/cables. Would this part be what I need (see attached). Would this work? or not at all? Thanks.
You need one from a 98 fbody to be stand alone. The newer ones need to communicate with the bcm. I believe 99 and up silerados work too but the cable is short. I used a 98 fbody and the cable is long enough to be mounted underneath in front of drivers tire so its out of sight.
98 fbody is the only year thats stand alone. If you do a search on here the diagram has been posted. Its super easy to do completely independent of the ecm. Just needs a vss input to function. I just took the ls ecm vss output and connected to both my speedometer and cruise and it worked fine.
