  • LS1 Conversion people inside

    I have worked a deal with HPSalvage on a LS1 Engine and tranny with all the needed parts ex. crossmember and computer blah blah blah. I got a good deal on it but am wondering how it wears on a pre 98 F-body. I was wondering if anyone in here has done the conversion and if so could they E-mail me so I can ask a few questions. I am trying to contact whoever did the conversion on their 95 trans-am on HPSalvages site but they could not give me any info on him/her. Any help would be appreciated thanks. P.S. I will be FULLY documenting the project as much as I can but I am not starting it till march as I am in Minot AFB, ND and well winters here are like the jack frost cartoon. [img]smile.gif[/img]

    There is a guy in my local F-body club who has put an LS1 in his '94 Z28. The engine fits with little modification contrary to popular belief. And no the engine does not sit to tall for the early fourth-gen front end......some people will try to tell you that BS.

    It will require slightly more modification to slip into a V6 car but shouldn't be much harder. I have a link to a website that sells all the conversion parts for the swap. There sponsor vehicle is a black '95 3.4L Camaro and they have installed an LS1 and have custom fabricated 32v Cadillac Northstar heads onto it! :eek:

    If I can find it, I'll post it for ya.

        ProjectX what do you do at the base? My uncle works there and he does something with plumbing and carpentry stuff. His name is Tim Bamburg, do you know him? I think his rank is something like Master Sergent (could be the rank right under dont really know) But anyways sorry for the off subject post.

            You might want to talk with Scott at www.speedautomotive.com . They sell the parts also, and have done these conversions.
