92 4.3 to 96 LT1

[Zero]

Hey everyone,

Im new to this site and what im looking to do is swap my 4.3 to a lt1 out of a 96 trans am. I have no clue where to start from after i pull the motor out of both vehicles and prepare to drop the new motor in my truck. I will have the entire trans am to pull from i.e. wire harness and w hatever else i will need. If anyone has suggestions of what i should do about modifications and parts i will need to buy i would really appreciate the imput.

Thanks for reading,

Zero

my input, google optispark lt1 symptoms. I had a 95 camaro and after i bought pcm and opti, i went back to my reliable s-10. but good luck

Sell the LT1 to some sucker on craigslist, acquire an ls motor, save yourself the hassle.

Alright, I reckon i could keep the T56 though. I've been wanting to convert my truck to a stick shift anyways.

Your asking an LS based sight, what kind of answer did you aspect. Anyhow go with what you got I say, but their right there was problems with the opti-spark. Then again there problems with all mechnical stuff.

i do understand that i asked a ls based site but everyone could have possibly done different conversions so i figured it was worth a shot. I havent been able to find a ls motor around here on craigslist or by word of mouth so im going with what i can get
