Transmissions wont transfer, Kmember wont match up, all your engine accessories, plus all the little stuff like AC, sensors, etc.



an overview of major items you'll need
-Engine
-Tranny
-K-member
-Wiring harness (sparco does a conversion with the stock LT1 harness)
-Computer & tuning
-Front Accessories
-Steering rack & pinion with steering shaft
-New Fuel pump(LS1-58psi vs LT1-42psi), regulator, and lines (LS1 is a returnless system)




if you truly want to do it, find a donor car that is rear ended and take your time.


IMVHO, save the time and money and have your LT1 freshened up and mod it out. get it stroked, poked and cammed and have more power than the LS1 without breaking the bank.
or if you are adamant about having an LS1, trade out your 94 for one. or find a rolling chassis that needs a motor and interior and swap your interior to the rolling chassis.
How much do u think it would run me to boost my LT1 then?
