i know that some models of the v6 firebirds(i think 93-95) the tranny has the same bolt pattern as the lt1. and from everythign that i've heard from all the people i've asked, they all told me the same thing, that its a hassle to get to fit perfectly into the car and the dizzy hits the cowl in front of the windshield. it doesn't hit much, but enough. and if i do drop a lt1 into the car, it'll change a lot of the settings for it to, cause i'll be converting it from EFI to carb. which i don't have a problem with that, cause carburated(sp?) engines are a bit easier to work on.
and sinec i have about a month before i get my license back i was wanting to just rebuild the motor that was in it. that way if i ever do decide to put a v8 into it, i can have a fully built motor instead on putting it in and takin it out later to build it.
but really, i'm probably gonna rebuild the motor and try to sell it so i can get a hatch, although its coming harder to find since everyone one i know is wanting more than what i'm willin to give cause i got a full swap for it, my own suspension, interior....pretty much everything. i just need a shell to put it all on.
