RedHeartbeat can you hook me up with some pics? cadillacthischevy2001@yahoo.com im only a few weeks away from starting the swap
Thanks for the pics any installed pics?
Nope. I did that install about 10 years ago. The pics of the engine were after I pulled it out to install an LS1. Do you need any other information about the LT1? What year engine do you plan to install? Is it out of a Corvette, F-body, or Impala?
Motor is from a 93 firebird and its going into a 91? or 95? Silverado or GMC
Hey guys! I'm back!
I've had this thing up and running since sometime before Christmas.. don't remember the exact date. I've been pretty busy since and haven't worked on her untill today. I still have a few things to work on, although it runs great.
-I have a bad front crankshaft seal oil leak that I have to fix
-I need to know what kind of relays to use for my cooling fans (universal flex-a-lite)
-I need to hook up my speedo
-I need to hook up the voltmeter
-My alternator will not charge the battery. This is probably because I have 3 white wires coming from the alternator that are not hooked up to anything. I need a 1994 Corvette charging and starting system wiring diagram.
Anyone wanna shed some light on this? Redheartbeat? Thanks!!!
Got any questions about the swap guys? I can help too now that I did it. And it really wasn't bad at all.
I should have that. I'll look tonight.
I use standard Bosch relays for my fans. Use the wiring diagram for fans from the GM manual. Works great.
One word of caution when removing the front pulley, use some kind of pusher rod that will clear the thread ID and bottoms out in the hole. The puller will not remove the pulley if you pull against what looks like the flat end of the crankshaft. I've seen guys break pullers trying to remove it incorrectly.

Hmm thanks. You always come through :thumb:
The only LT1 related manual I have is a Haynes manual that I have used on my Trans Am. I should be fine with that though, I imagine the fan relay wiring will be the same for both cars. The charging and starting system wiring diagram is a different story though, I can't find it anywhere online and none of my local parts stores had the manual. If you got that diagram I'll be pumped :rock:
I went to get the new truck inspected yesterday... needs $1,500 worth of work and parts to pass! 2003 Chevy 2500HD. That motivated me to get this thing done ASAP. I can't afford that right now and I have no transportation till I get my Corvetterado done.
I'm back! What have you guys been up to? I ended up getting the truck running and driving, then it needed some work and I didn't have the money to invest into it so it has been off the road with no insurance since May. Right now I am swapping an NV3500 into it. 4L60E has blown too many times.
What happened did you all die or something? Where you at?!
We're all here still. Had a close brush with death but cheated it this time around. What are you needing help with?
