LT1 to LS1 Conversion.
#11
Go to the V6 forum and read the thread about doing the V6 to V8 swap. You are pretty much going to have to swap everything over and I do mean everything but the body, carpet, seats and headliner. If you think I am joking about what has to go I am not. Even the door panels are different from the first dash to the updated dash,

Please keep us posted. The 97 Lt1 to 98 LS1 is a pretty easy swap. The 93 is a bit of a bastard in that it is a completely different computer system so everything eletrical will need swaped I mean everything. Down to the wiring harnesses in the doors cause of the BCM.

Smart move, Fixing is always cheaper then converting and when you done you have something worth something. Converted cars never sell for much many times they end up being parted out.
