LT1 Swap To Do List...
 

Hey everyone,
I am putting a 96 LT1 into my 91 RS. In addition to the things listed below, is there anything else I should do/check before I put the motor into the car? The LT1 has 68K on it.

Heres what I can think of:
-Replace Cap & Rotor
-Replace Plugs
-Replace Wires
-Replace Water Pump
-Replace Rear Main Seal
-Replace intake manifold seal (Not leaking, preventitive maintenence)

might as well overhaul the LT1 just for peace of mind

Don't do the cap and rotor. Just get a brand new Optispark!

x2.

you'll already have the intakes off, at least do head gaskets since you'll be right there

What does an opti cost? I already bought the MSD cap & rotor kit.

Nevermind. I just found a new GM unit on E-Bay for $240 shipped.

I love "Buy It Now"

Im probably going to be doing a head/cam package in a year or so, so Im going to leave the heads on for now & just drive it. (Look out next winter!)
