Engine swap

03-04-2006, 12:26 AM

Ok my buddy got a hold of an LS1 out of a 98 camaro. It only has 5000miles on it the camaro it came out of was totaled. I have already inspected the engine. The crank, bearings, and pistons all look good. He wants $900 for it my question is if i put it into a 01 v6 camaro will I have to get a new tranny also. I have the 4speed auto tranny will it work with the LS1 engine dosnt the auto z28 have the 4speed with OD also?

Unfortunetely the 5.7 needs a different tranny. Use search to look up v6 to v8 swap and you'll find all the info you'll need.

I think the auto trannies are the same but the bellhousing is different so no, its not going to work. You'll have to get one that fits the LS1.
