looking to do a motor swap , going to take a motor out of a 94 vette, and put in a singlecab chevy/gmc. wondering if anyone has done this yet and if anyone has ran into any truck far as motor mounts or tranny mounts?

 

So you want to take out your LSX motor and drop in an LT1?

 

In this case you'd be taking a step backwards in engine technology.

 

I would stick with ls motors, my 5.3 makes more power than my lt1 camaro did. the lt1 has alot of torque but the aftermarket is smaller and can be expensive. i would look for a used 6.0

 

What year of truck do you want to put it in?

 

no its my buddy's car. he has a 94 vette and he's wanting to put the motor in a singlecab. cause of insurance and all being so dang high. we was going to find a 88-94 body with a blown motor and pull the vette motor out and put in the singlecab.

 

Ok then do it i thought you were saying a 99+. I know its been done but im no help there.

 

yea ive tried talking him into a newer model engine but he wont listen

 

If you are going into a obs truck, it is straight forward. Maybe a few wiring issues, but maybe none at all...

You need to adapt the fuel lines to the LT1 & swap out the intank pump. Route the steam line to the rad & change to the smaller hoses. Use all the acc , mts, & brackets from the LT1 as well as the engine harness & computer and a reprogram. don't forget to tune out the VATS. Contact Street & Performance, they will send you a free video on LT1's.
