window motors are cheap. i got mine on ebay. nice lookin car!

fugly wheels. And god good, have fun with all that room....

i think you need documentation for the engine swap. good luck. if they are stupid or you go private, might sneak under the radar. wasn't their issues with this car? i remember my buddy looking at it on craigslist.

I wouldn't imagine him having any problems. Pre 96 gets a sniff test, if anything it should have less emissions.

oh no i agree, but the state of new jersey is a bitch like that. just saying if you get a prick, you won't walk out with a smile!

I guess, but then you assume the inspector knows what he is looking for.

ha, well the belt routing diagram and vacuum diagram on the radiator kinda give it up. we are talking state employees though :lol:

Ohhh, I have never had the hood popped. Just drive in, brake, forget its a RWD car and schreech away...

haha well like i said it depends on the person and such.

No known issues, the trans was recently rebuilt maybe thats what your talking about. The wheels on the car now are firebird 16 in. but they wont be on long. Future brother in law is doing the inspection at his goodyear.

The window motor would normally fail you, but if you have family doing it, then you should be fine.

That's a pretty good looking swap. Good luck with it.

good stuff. i thought something was incomplete about the car. it is a sneaky swap though.

no ac........thats about all i can see

Yea I never really used it much in any of my fbods anyway..supposedly it kills like 10 hp :lol: . Its only going to be a nice weather/weekend cruiser anyway, dont need it for daily duty.

it does kill some hp, but the significant part is taking the weight off the nose

Autozone sells the window motor with a life time guarantee.

Here's a link that details the process.

Fairly easy, just need to be careful not to break the plastic clips on the door. And the window switch cluster can be a PITA to get off/on. Putting in the motor itself is easy.

Yea I did a search on tech and others reccomended the autozome piece...thank you for the shoebox write up also

Yea a buddy and I at work just looked over the directions, doesnt look to hard at all...Well pull it in the warehouse and tackle that early next week.

Window motor swap is easy, Ive done 4 of them. Ebay motors work great for $20 but the autozone warranty is appealing (Ebay motors are slow in cold weather). That write up is pretty good, I wish I had it my first time around. First time install took me an hour with no instructions, so expect about 40 min.

To add to the write up:
1. Remove your front speaker. The install is so much easier when you can reach up from that angle.
2. When you bore a hole into the side panel to get to the rivets, wear gloves. The door panel is a fiber composite; shards of it can get stuck in your skin and they are itchy, also bad to breathe in.

Goodluck with the install, and congrats on an LS1

Thanks man , u have a link to that ebay piece? I would search but im at work and ebays blocked.

yeah i saw that. i talked to my buddy today and it was actually a black one. so enjoy this guy!!!

Yea I will he just called, hes trailoring it down from baltimore hell be here around 8-9 because its not registered :dancing:

i wonder if a ls1 rad support and lid would fit under the hood ?
