    So I have a chance to pick up a LT1 and 4l60 trans dirt cheap!

    I know there is not much on here, and I can not find a whole lot of info on it, but can someone maybe help a brother out and maybe refer me to some people who have done the swap....I know there is some wiring stuff that I will have to do, but anyone who has already done it would be able to answer alot of my questions.

    It is not the route I was going to go, but with a good street cams and some bolt ons, should be pleanty of power for now.


    Thanks for any help up front guys!

    I can refer you to www.9C1.net/forum

    These guys do not suffer the bs you find on the impalass forum and will give you a straightforward answer on the practicality of your idea. My bet is that they will tell you it's more trouble than it's worth, but can be done.

    And the question may have already been asked so it's worth searching around a bit.

    go over the the Buick forums and go to the roadmaster section and talk with MR Buick Magnum, Buffman, and krzdimond. Post thread on what you plan on doin and these fellers can help you out with any of it. I havnt found anybody else other than this guy who knows more about the Roadie and Caprice than this feller and a few others on there.www.buickforums.com/.


    Again make shure you got to the roadmaster forum though.
