Hard to say, I bought this car a year ago with the full intention to do a LS swap. It needs to much work all round to throw alot of money in motor swap like that. So, I'm rocking my LT1 for awhile. Plus, I picked up a LT1 T56 to replace my trans.

This winter, I have most of the parts I need. I still need the hydraulics. It's been done alot in B-bodys, So it should be fairly easy.

Only 151K on my BBody. Nice to know yours is still going after another 100K. I traded a spare turbo Regal engine for a LT T56 earlier in the year with full intention on doing the swap. My auto crapped out too soon and I needed the money to rebuild it so I sold off the T56. :( A couple of locals have T56s in their 9C1s. They told me the swap is fairly easy and they did theirs in the driveway. Good luck with yours.

Yea, one of my buddies had a roadmaster with a LT1 and showed me all these sites for conversions on the BBody cars.
