i know it's a hella lot of work and labor no question....but what about it takes 2 years? i'm not saying it doesn't, i'm just trying to learn what to watch out for

[Genopsyde]

well for me, money, and a full time job that takes over 50hrs a week, finding out about other things you need that you can't just get around the corner at the store...etc.

sorry but, when i do the lt1 swap what all do i need because i am trying to track down some parts now if i can get good deals and so i can keep a look out. I know i need fuel lines and pump. But is there any other things like ecu and that suff? And do i have to change supention?

[666_speed]

yeah i hadnt really figured in that last part with other little stuff you cant just get easily....in my imaginary would i'd end up with everything i need and it'd go smoothly, i bet there will end up being a million little things i could never imagine needing.....thanks

[Genopsyde]

yea, there's all kinds of little roadblocks that pop up. the worse one so far was when i was putting the #5 piston in place and the cylinder wall getting scratched in the process. we had to re-hone it.

thats why i got a pre assembled engine....to lessen the chance of me f'n up cos i know how it'd go with my luck

I Think The Best Way To Do It And Get All The Parts Is To Ask People And Talk To People Around Your Area Maybe Some Shop Or Someone Will Have Some Experence In This Project. Im Sure You Could Find Someone, Because Your Going To Need Help With Something Its Not Going To Just Go Together Perfect.

things you're going to NEED, new fuel pump, new harness, pcm, different radiator, new intake ducts... you'll need several other things... but what else you need is determined by what you want to do with emissions, air conditioning, power steering, what type of accessory bracket you use, there a million decisions to make, and i'm too tired to write a novel and tell you what you're going to need for each different combination of decisions... sorry
