48 GMC Burb 96 vett LT 1 swap
 
Looking at putting 96 vett drivetrain in my 48 , it has a 350 crate & 700r4 TX now. How hard of a swap is that ? I've been wrenching on toys for a while but not made the leap to EFI. I look forward to all input.

I put a 95 Vette Lt1 into my 48 truck. I went with Howell Engine development for the wiring harness and computer flash. I also used Street and performance for the engine brackets. Overall once you have a basic understanding it is not to bad, bit then again I choose to spend the money on an aftermarket harness to make it easier.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Good luck
Marc

TKS, How was the fit of the trans & are the motor mounts in the same location ? Do you have pix of your build ?

My truck uses a modified G-body frame. It had a 305 with a turbo 350 trans, so there was not much different that I needed to do besides modify the trans mount slightly.

My truck is a 12 year endeavor. I have a Photobucket page with over 200 -pics. The login info is below my profile picture.
