Re: lt1 third gen
Well if you have someone do all the work it's going to cost you a arm and a leg seriously, i have dropped atleast 10-13k on my camaro.

Re: lt1 third gen
i am pretty confident that if i have the complete engine and wire harness that i can get it in there and running, just wondering what parts i might need that i am not thinking of. sounds like it should be a strightforward swap. the only thing i am not sure of is will i have to modify the fule system in anyway?

Im sure you do, just to met the fuel demands of the new engine. It should be a straightforward swap because if you got a V8 in your 3rd gen the Lt1 bolts right up.

Re: lt1 third gen
v8 and tpi injection. Im not sure what fuel pressure you need for an lt1 but it might be the same or close to that of a tpi's. That and you will need a 4l60e tranny.unless im mistaken

Re: lt1 third gen
Yes, the TPI and LT1 use the same fuel pressure's. So there is no need for a pump change.
