LS1 swap - What cars came with LS1?
Hi all,
I've got a WS6 T/A and am spoiled with the performance and efficiency of the LS1. I want to find a completed donor vehicle to drop an LS1 6 speed set up in my 64 ragtop Skylark. What years and makes came with the LS1? I'm also wondering if anyone has taken the complete wiring system and all and swapped it into a ride like this. The donor vehicle would cost enough. I can do any needed fabrication but want to minimize any other cost to do this swap.
All help appreciated!!!

Black- 01 Silverado
www.brphotrods.com speializes in lsx motor mount, header conversions
www.speartech.com custom tunes and wiring harness modifications or new harness, some turn key engine setups
these are the two that i have used and have had pretty good luck on my lsx swap into my 79 t/a hope this helps
and all the trucks had in ls based engines from 99 to present were the 5.3, 6.0, and 8.1 but no 5.7's But i have seen a few around that had made their way into oneLast edited by blackout5.3; 09-29-2009 at 06:35 PM. Reason: my grubby little fingers betray my typing skills

They all have the t-56 tranny, I think on the vettes they require some sort of linkage since the tranny is further from the shifter. If you are swapping it out and going custom (since you won't use the vettes interior) it won't be a problem.
egr is exhaust gas remission that comes on f-bodies 98-00 and slightly less efficient intake-8hp

97-04 vette
98-02 f-body

ls-2

1999 Formula WS6 M6-sold- 2001 Silverado Z71
The vette transmission is mount to the rear differential instead of the engine. vettes have a torque tube with a drive shaft in between the engine and transmission.
The internals are about the same but it won't bolt up to an LS1 without some reworking. Plus the backside of the trans need to be reworked for a driveshaft to hook up to it.Last edited by Cutlass; 10-07-2009 at 02:51 AM.
