ls1 swap
i was interested in doing an ls1 swap into a lt1 camaro, my question is how hard would it be to get this done, and if it isnt extremely hard can i swap an ls1 or higher that is 6.0 L

RE: ls1 swap
You're going to have a grip of work ahead of you...The LS1 doesn't have the same mounting locations as the LT1 because the LT1 is the origional Chevy small block, but the LS blocks are a completely redesigned block, so you'd have to modify your frame and such. Not worth the effort if you ask me.

ok thanks pete for the info , now i have another question or actually maybe just need a little advise, my LT1 runs well but it is just under the 150k mark, should i get the engine and trans rebuilt or should i buy a new one ?

Pete, shouldn't an LT4 fit in also?(good luck finding one, but it should fit)...I would say get it rebuilt. If you buy a new one you'll have the same thing you have now, so why not invest in some upgrades while the motor is appart? Put a more aggressive cam in, get the heads and intake worked over so they flow better...might as well save the money on buying a whole new block and put it into some performance.
