Sup fellas,

First of all let me just say, I'm new to the car building hobby. I know it's expensive, i know it's time consuming, I know it causes heartache and most likely hairloss. I still wanna' do it.

So here's the story. I have an 86 Z-28, with a crate 305 & a B&M 3 speed automatic. The tranny needs to be rebuilt and I have an LT1 from a 94 Roadmaster. I wanna put the LT1 in the Camaro and replace the transmission but like I said earlier, I'm a newbie. I don't really know much. Fortunately I have some friends w/car building experience but I just wanted to do some research.

Is there anything I should look out for. Anything I need to know beforehand. Any good resources for an automotive idiot. Where should I look for information. I have the 94 Roadmaster so I was wondering if there is anything from the Roadmaster I can cannibalize. Will the LT1 fit on the stock engine mounts in the 86 Camaro...

As you can see I have an *** load of questions. I appreciate all the help you guys can offer. Thanks for your time.

 

does no one want to help? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

sorry, i must have overlooked this thread earlier.

first, i would gut the computer and wiring harness out of the roadmaster, and then i would get some LT1 motor mounts and put them in the Z once the old engine is out. it should go pretty smoothly, with the exeption of the fact that your changing a probably carb car to a fuel injection car, so you will probably have to upgrade your fuel pump and lines. other than that, you should be pretty good. any problems you run into, please let us know so someone can help you, and im sorry for the long delay
