1982 V6 2.8L Carb to LS1 Swap

Hi all, from Australia here and finally making the V6 2.8L to LS1 swap happen

I have ordered the hooker engine mounts / trans crossmember as a start and due to parts being out of stock arent due until March, this will solve the engine and trans mounting.

Looking at running a holley terminator x and wiring for electrical.

My next step is fuel i havent had a chance to look at the car in a while but im guessing being V6 Carb i wouldnt have a return line back to the tank?

Anyone used one of these pumps? https://www.holley.com/products/ls_p...m/parts/12-328

Search, search, search function! But while I'm here, I might as well help.
The Holley fuel pump/sender you linked has a return line, so if you go that route you will want to find return style "LS" fuel rails.
The Holley terminator x is not quite a complete kit, you need an alternator signal wire with a resistor they sell separately, and also an air intake temp sensor. I used one from a 1994 v6 camaro.
If you have any more questions, pm me

Be advised that the Hooker crossmember is not listed to fit any 82-83 model f-bodies. I believe that the spacing between the rails are different from other year models.

From the Hooker Blackheart LS Swap Tech Data sheet:

This crossmember can also be installed in a 1982 or 1983 model year F-body by modifying the location of the stock crossmember attachment holes in the subframe.
So I'd say it will fit between the rails fine. You'll just have to do more work to ensure you have threaded holes for the bolts to work with. It would be worth reading through the original LS1tech thread on when these were announced to see if there was any other details that could help.
