ls1 third gen
I was thinking about maybe swapping the 350 tpi out of my 89 trans am and dropping in a ls1. Just wondering if anyone knows if it's worth it or not and if so how much fabricating will i have to do. It's just an idea right now but would like any input.

you can check out thirdgen.org as well, there are plenty of people with lsx swap 3rd gens there. Some really good threads about it too.

I put mine in back in 2004, and it's the best mod I ever did. Aside from a TR 224 cam, Crane dual springs, ported oil pump and JWIS chain the engine's stock.
It got 28mpg on the road trip to/from Memphis, and runs like shot from a barrel on a road course.
