pontiacfreak142 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 i picked up a gen 1 350 off a friend that im going to be attempting to put in the bird. It will be carbed, so no computers. What all will be involved in this swap? Will my V6 front k member work or will i need to find one from an LT1 car? What will i need to do to get the distibuter to fit, if anything?

Patterson Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Should simply be a matter of LT1 motor mounts, and frame stands. Depends on what style distributor you use. You might have issues with a big cap HEI or a big cap MSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on LS1 Tech and there is a TON of good info and build pics. I think SPHON makes a k-member that will do what you need. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/small-block-big-block-chevy-specific/1003332-swapping-sbc-into-lt1-f-car.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontiacfreak142 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 wagner, im tryin to do this on the cheap lol im gonna try to get a stock style one to work first lol. Chad, i was going to, but i picked this motor and a turbo 400 trans up for 250 bucks. The motor just needs heads and intake, but ran low 12's in my dads buddies car.

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I think SPHON makes a k-member that will do what you need. BMR & UMI also make a K-member. A lot of guys just use the LT1 k-member and a motor plate setup. Obviously, the tubular k-member saves weight though. Here are a few links I saved when I was doing my swap. http://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=398775 – swap info http://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=269010 – swap info http://community.webshots.com/user/badss97 - swap pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 only a very small dist will fit and you may even need to beat on the firewall for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
