LT1 to LS1 swap qustions

Ok I have done a search and have seen that changing the K-member is a must for doing this swap. I have a few questions about this. Any help is appreciated.

ok first why does it gotta be changed, I am assuming the motor mount position is differant.

second, if I were to buy a tubular K member for a ls1 car, will my Lt1 A arms,rack and pinion bolt up?

just trying to see what my best options are.

Thanks in advance
Cody

I think the only thing different w/ the front susp. besides the K-member is the spindles (or steering knuckles as some refer them to) due to the different mounting position of the brake calpers. I think everything off your LT1 will work on the LS1 k-member.

You might want to check out the hybird forum on LS1tech.com That is where all of the conversion vehicles are, along with LT1 to LS1 swaps. You'll find some good, specific info there as well.
