LT1 LS1 conversion

[TmaxicanA]

seeing as i just got this 94 TA for such a good deal. i was just kinda curious as too what it would take too convert it too an LS1?
i would assume the motor will bolt right in and everything. i was more worried about the accessories..and if i need a different battery cable wiring harness...anyone had experience with this?

I've heard it's a huge PITA. The biggest problem i've heard people have with swapping is the wiring, but i'm sure more experienced people will chime in

thats what i was kinda figuring....the wiring would be the biggest pain. doubt it would be worth it, was just a what if thing

You need the whole front crosmember assembly from a ls1 car, engine, trans, engine wiring, and since yours is a 94 obd1 car, you will probably need the rest of the ls1 car's wiring harness unless you want to do alot of conversion wiring work.

forgot about the OBD1...

Building a stout sbc 383 stroker would probably be a better option.

i know there are a lot of people that do that..i was just looking at a more reliable motor for DD nothing extreme

Definately understand that.the ls engines are imo the best v8s that gm has ever built.
