Will it work

[caprice in work]

I was thinking of putting an LT1 engine in my 92 wagon it is coming with complete block and headers i already have a 350 in the wagon about how much work would it be to swap engines

Because it's going to be a lot of work to drop an LT1 into a '92 B-Body. The actual R&R is not so bad, but rewiring the '92 for the later ECM/PCM is going to be tedious. Unless you intend to batch-fire the injectors with an older ECM and machine the intake for a distributor (www.lt1Intake.com) you're going to have a chore replacing the engine and ECM harness. Then you'll have to transfer the expansion tank to the older car, install the "upside down" radiator, and segregate the trans and engine oil coolers (warmer?) from the radiator. Then there's the matter of installing a different fuel pump in the tank. Then you'll have to route the A/C and P/S lines differently, since they're on opposite sides from the TBI engine.

Other than that, it's cake...

Painless Wiring offers a wiring harness and ECM that will greatly simplify things. But they aren't cheap.....

yeah its alot of work, mostly just in the wiring though, the actual swap is the easy part
