Starting a swap soon with a couple of ?'s.

[eiriktveiten]

Hey everyone, I've been researching and have still come up empty on a few things. If you can help (not by telling to me to go buy an ls engine please) then please chime in. Here's what I got:

My truck: '95 Silverado 1500 2wd. 5.7 TBI auto trans. 252,800 miles (last 30k have been abusive) runs, drives every day

Donor car: '95 Camaro Z-28 5.7 LT-1 auto trans. 125,000 miles. (has bolt ons and stuff so Ill assume its been dogged some) runs, trans slips in higher gears.

I want to put the LT-1 in my truck. Ill freshen it up and maybe put a few things on it. I know all about the opti spark and the problems that come with it but I have this stuff and intend to use it. Plus if I get tired of the opti spark there are plenty of conversions out there. Anyways, I'm curious about the diff in the Camaro. Its a 10 bolt posi and my truck also has a 10 bolt but open diff. Are they interchangeable? Also, I'm familiar with wiring but would say my skill level is a 6 at best. Is the wiring for this swap out of my league? Any positive help would be appreciated and rewarded with lots of progress pics in my build page. Thanks for lookin!

I wish I could help you out but I know how you feel on running the LT1. I will be starting the swap of a LT1/700R4 into a 1980 GMC Caballero Diablo this weekend.
