I was thinking about maybe swapping the 350 tpi out of my 89 trans am and dropping in a ls1. Just wondering if anyone knows if it's worth it or not and if so how much fabricating will i have to do. It's just an idea right now but would like any input.:tta:

I have the same dream for my 91, a lot of places make swap parts. Ive been looking at www.spohn.net they have all the hardware to swap in the ls1 and t-56

you can check out thirdgen.org as well, there are plenty of people with lsx swap 3rd gens there. Some really good threads about it too.

I put mine in back in 2004, and it's the best mod I ever did. Aside from a TR 224 cam, Crane dual springs, ported oil pump and JWIS chain the engine's stock.

It got 28mpg on the road trip to/from Memphis, and runs like shot from a barrel on a road course.
