      Ls1 swap

      I have a 68 Camaro Convertible that I'm going to do a LS1 swap. I have a wreck 99 z8 that I'm pulling the motor, tranny, computer harness. What else can I use from this vehicle before i send it to the wrecking yard?

      You can use the computer harness and brakes

      front: calipers, rotors and abutment brackets. rear: backing plates, calipers, abutments, rotors and possibly cables.... I'm assuming you'll by new rotors and pads, but its always good for mock up.

      Thanks csouth.

      How about the differential & drive shaft should I keep it?

      Cooling system etc...radiator, electric fans?

      AC system ?

      I'm just trying to keep as much as possible before I send the car to the junkyard.

      Every bit of info will help.

      Thanks.

      if you've got the room, keep the entire car around till the swap is running and driving.

      The radiator and fans will work in the 68, I'm using them in my 69.
