Ok, it has been 30 years since I done work like this so I am a bit rusty (like my car). Just picked up an LT1 from a 95 corvette, planning on going through it first but I need to know what I have to do to make it work in my Chevelle, books etc. The computer is missing and I want to keep the fuel injection. I will be mating it up to a M21 4speed. Currently a older 350 is in the car and from the stuff I have already done the guy before me knew less than I do.
Help is the word here. Books advice. I know I have to relocate the air and power steering but need to know about the water pump (current electric, perfer old style) and where to buy the needed electric parts to make it work. Thanks
Parts hard to get here in Maui...

I'd go to FAST and get one of their control boxes for your LT1. It'll be easier than trying to adapt a factory harness into the car.
The mounts are the same, so that won't be a problem, but you'll have to install an electric fan in yoour Chevelle since the LT1 can't run a clutch fan.

Does the water pump have to be electric? Can I change it to a regular water pump and use electric fans?
Is there a web site for FAST..
Like I said before it has been 30 years since I have done any wrenching.
Thanks for the info..
