We have done a few LT1 conversions. They fit pretty well in a third gen but some concerns are the air conditioning which interferes with the steering linkage and also where to mount the PCM so it dosent look like crap. The quality of the install is also relative to the quality of the drivetrain you purchase.

Do you own a shop or something? Whats a legit price for something like this based on your experience?

^ There is one for sale here already done, unless you have your heart set on building your own though....

^ If you were in New Jersey, Miller Performance would have it done for you in a matter of no time. There five minutes from Raceway Park. I'll see what I can find out though in respect to your location, in reference to a credible installer....

Re: Thinkin about dropping a LT1 W/ T56 into a third gen
I do appreciate that, I am not however looking to spend 3 grand on the install. I was looking around a G or so. I have no problem lending a hand for however much time needed. Thank you.
