Hi I’m looking at buying a 98 catfish ls1 auto is it much work to change it to a t56 manual? Nice car buy the way!
@WestCoastConnectionGarage8 күн бұрын
Hello, thanks for your comment! Honestly, I would not do it. The amount of work it requires, plus you would need access to a hoist. Between the trans swap itself, harness change over, pedal assembly install, computer swap or tune, etc. It's best you save a bit more and buy it already equipped with the t56.

I still have my '96 Z/28. It was my 1st car. Going on 13 years of ownership. Dont LS swap it. Get a built 383 or 396 LT1 and a 24X swap. These things make plenty of power for the street. Even in stock form.
@WestCoastConnectionGarageАй бұрын
That's awesome that you still have it! This was my first car, too. This is my 10th year of owning it. My concern isn't so much isn't just power, I've owned a 99 Camaro SS, a project car, and sold it a few years ago. It was so much easier to work with, find parts, and tune. My LT1 camaro had to get tuned by an older Asian man on his laptop from the 90s! Essentially, it's just a more reliable and user-friendly engine. That's my opinion, at least.

@markovich3605 That's good to know, as the older Asian guy I mentioned earlier he was the top tuner in the Toronto area from the 90s to the present. The rumor was he acquire a hacked version of GMs OB1 software, so he is able to play around with a lot on these cars.

I love My '95 z28. I have the exact same car with stock aluminum wheels. I haven't put headers on it, maybe some day. LT1s are great engines and deserve more love. They are different, and you have to understand the design and their idiosyncracies to appreciate them. Harder to work on than an LS, but stronger overall. Mine only has 93k km (58k MI) on it, so no way am I going the LS swap Nice examples of the early 4th Gens are becoming rare. These things will come into their own soon as the 90s kids age, just like the Fox body Mustangs are right now with guys who were teens in the 80s.
@WestCoastConnectionGarage2 ай бұрын
@philhamilton8731 I agree 100% about everything you've said. These 4th gens are definitely then next upcoming classic. Most of the LT1s flaws essentially had to happen in order for future engines to be developed. In my case, I'd rather go LS. However, not to say my LT1 block would be trashed. I would make it into a coffee table!
