94z ls1 swap
how much of a head ache would it be to put an ls1 in my 94z? ive found some motors on the net complete with wiring harness with about 50,xxxx miles from $1000-3000 depending on how far i wanna travel to get pick it up. i know nothing about this so all help is good. is it jus a one for one swap maybe change a part or two. or do i gotta do a bunch of custom **** to make it work. will my stock trans work for now?

You will need a whole doner car. Remember your computer connects to all the sub systems. All those sub system changed for 94-98. SO you will need most of the electronics from the doner car. Infact to do the swap right you would only be using your shell. Everything else will have to come from the doner car including the front K member/suspention.

and believe it or not the door panels from your 94 will not fit to the 97-02 dash properly. They look the same but trust me here they are not.
And what gorn said... You basicly need the doner car. Check out the engine swap thread in the v6 section, you will be following those instructions. Depending on the ABS and rear diff you may be needing to change that too.

I'll stay wit my lt1. and as for all my threads, I'm new to the camaro life so I post all questions I get so that i don't end up throwing away money cuz I know absolutely nothing as to what I'm doin and how to do it. learning as I go.
