ls1 into 88 4x4

[RedHeartbeat]

The 4x4 frame is so different that I cannot tell if you'd have to notch or not. THe best way is to just drop it in there and see what you have for clearance. You may not have to do anything. For accessories, post up on LS1tech, Corvetteforum, LS1GTO, Performancetrucks.net and anywhere else you can think of for them. I think the Vette accessories would be best, then the truck and finally the fbody. I reserve the Fbody for last only because the alternator is next to the steering box. If you get it up high it makes for an easier conversion. I did fbody on my 93 and 92. It works fine but it's tight. The high mount alternator will allow you to move the engine fwd or backward as needed to bolt to the stock transmission location.

yea, im a member on tech with over 900 posts, i used to have a trans am. I dont think "finding" the parts would be a problem, its just trying to decide on which ones to get..ahhah. I just know that there cant be much difference in the truck frames now and the truck frames then..so i would think the truck accessories would work better but i have NO clue..i wish i could find someone who could say, yes i ve done the same thing..here is what you will need...wishfull thinking hahah
