Hidden cost in a motor swap
Hey everyone,
I have the oppurtunity to pick up a LT1 and a 4L60E out of a 95 corvette for a decent price. I have done a little research on some cost to make this work in the coupe, but was wondering if anyone else has any input on wether this is the way to go.
I have a 350 goodwrench motor with 30,000 miles and a 700R that was my first option, but I really like the fuel injection method.
What research I have done I will be out $750 for a wiring harness thats a stand alone harness, from street and performance. I have seen this harness on another car, very nice. $200 for the computer to be reprogramed.
Send my fuel tank to Rock Valley $550 for them to go through it and install the high pressure pump and sending unit, or $1050 for a new one.
Then addition $ for fuel lines and hoses and so forth.
Just curious if anyone else that has done this would have done something diffrent.
Thanks for any input.Peace and Bacon Grease
