Re: ls1 in 1993 z28
Thats pretty cool, alot of work I hear though. An LS1 swap is something I was considering to do to my car in a couple of years in order to stand out a little bit from the crowd. I really doubt it will happen though unless an LS1, tranny, and k-member along with all the other little things fall into my lap from the sky. How long did the swap take you to complete?

Post some pics of this thing. I wanna see.

Re: ls1 in 1993 z28
i have a friend that has swapped a ls1 and a t56 in his 94 v6 camaro. and did the ls1 front facia conversion too. I'll try to get pics, he also said the wiring was the hardest part.
