  • What all is needed to convert to LT1? (URGENT HELP NEEDED)!

    I got a dude selling an LT1 engine from a 95 Camaro around here for great price.. buddy of mine so i get first bids..

    My car is a 1995 V6 3.4L Firebird

    Question 1) Would a 95 Camaro 5.7L engine fit my car?

    2) What are all the parts I need to do the upgrade?

    I know I need Tranny, Engine, and MAF, and mounting brackets.. what else do I need?

    Please help thanks

    Yes the engine will fit, it came as an option that year. Just get the engine and tranny together with the computer and full wiring harness and it should be a really easy job for you. Oh yeah, V8 springs/shocks would be a good idea too.

      If he's parting out the entire car try and get as much as possible that deals with the engine. You may need a new bellhousing for the tranny since the 3.4 is a 60* engine with a different bolt pattern. I did just read that the 3.4 and 3.8 are the same bolt pattern don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, try and get everything like PCM and all that from the same car, tranny might be a good idea too if it's an auto and you are too.

          that guy left out a few things on his 'parts list' for the swap. he'll find out pretty quick though.

            A lot more than you think. Call Scott at www.speedautomotive.com , as he has done LT1 and LS1 swaps.

            BTW, this question has been asked way too many times - SO with so manys threads waited to be SEARCHED ........
