Hello Every One Im New To The Ls1 Family And Inquiring
About This 96 Z71 Truck I Just Bought.
I Also Have A Complete Ls1 ,wire Harness, Computer,transmission Out Of A 2000 Ss Camaro
That I Have Had Sitting In My Garage. The Trucks Motor Has Alot Of Miles So I Am Interested In Putting The Ls1 In It. I Know Its Possible But Can
Any One Out There Thats Done It Just Give Me A Little Info On Whats Ahead For This Swap?
Are you converting to 2wd? The camaro transmission would have to have the output shaft switched to work with the transfer case. Your stock z71 transmission can be used with the LS1 engine if you get a flat flywheel and adapter. The rest is just marrying the LS1 harness to the stock harness. NelsonPerformance can modify the LS1 harness to simplify the process to 4 wires or so. Check out the stickied conversion posts for more details. You'll need electric fans, motor mounts, convert the fuel lines to fit the LS1...
Thanks For The Info Red. And No Im Not Converting 2wd
The Z71 Has A New Transmission In It. Where Could I Find A Flat Fly Wheel And Adaptor.
transmissioncenter.net , crateenginedepot.com , sdparts.com , take your choice. I have a spare but I'm saving it as a backup. :lol:
Oh yeah, you'll need the longer bolts that go with the adapter, too.
PNs I used to run the old style 80e with the LQ4 setup...
12551367 flywheel
12563533 (6) bolts
12563532 spacer
PM Richard Campbell, he just finished a 97 Z71 and had a custom transfer case/tranny built for it.
Will The Fly Wheel And Spacer Fit The 96 4l60e?
What About The Bell Housing Can I Swap It To So It Bolts To The Oil Pan. What About The Converter?
If All This Fits The 96 4l60e Would I Even Need The Flywheel?
The flywheel may not be necessary but the adapter and bolts will be because the LS type crankshaft is shorter. You need the extension to make it longer to marry up to the old style flywheel and converter. The old style 60e doesn't have a bolt on bell housing so you cannot change that. I ran an old style 80e and it was only held to the engine with 5 bolts and that wasn't an issue.
thanks
i appreciate all the info.
