LS1 Swap!!!!
 I got a helluva good deal on an LS1 with the computer from a 98 Firebird and I'm thinking of pulling my LT1 out of my 93 Z28 and swapping. I know I want to break down the engine and do a rebuild, heads, cam, intake, ect., and I know I'll need new mounting brackets and a wiring harness, but what else am I going to need to anticipate for this swap? Have any of you guys done this before? Any and all help would be great.

You will need a new K member, and you will need a new trans. The bellhousing is different as well as the TC. Other than the air intake track, and the parts I listed, it should just drop in, unless you will be going from the bottom lol.

^ the hydraulics are different so you would need new slave cylinder and such. The input shafts are also different. Need a new transmission brace aswell. Im not sure but I also think you need a new fuelpump. not sure though. i do know the fuel setup is different on the ls1. Also you wont be able to just use an ls1 harness....they wont connect to your gauges. I think with the 97s having the same interior setup as 98+ it matches up. Anything before that no.

I don't think it's an 87, but BlueZee28 is doing a swap right now with an LS1. His thread is in the projects section. It's a little bit of a long read now, but has plenty of pics.
http://www.z28.com/forum/projects/13...rivetrain.html His posts are pretty detailed about what he did too so if you decided to do the 87 swap that would give a good idea of what you'd be doing. There are several people on here as well that have swapped LS1's into early 4th gens. I also believe in the latest issue of Camaro Performers magazine there is a red 93 or 94 that had an LS6 swapped into it.
