What do I need to swap an LT-1 350 from a 1993 Trans am into a 74 Chevrolet Chevelle?
I have a 1974 Malibu Classic with a 350 built TH350 trans and 373 gear stock rear end. I have a whole 87,xxx mile LT1 350 1993 Trans am to pull parts from. It does run and drive but 3rd gear on the trans is smoked. I'm looking to use just the engine and whatever else I need to swap the LT-1 into my chevelle. I'm trying to use the same trans and as much as possible on the chevelle and leave as much of the trans am as I can. I do have a fuel cell with a sump and I plan on using an external fuel pump. I've heard that the LT1 bolts right in as long as I don't keep the ac which was the plan anyway. What my question is is what do I need for a harness and pcm to run this engine with the TH350 trans? And what else may come up during this swap that I haven't covered?

If you are wanting to stay efi, you would be money ahead to convert it to a 94-95 pcm. The 93 is expensive.

On the other hand, the 93 ECM doesn't control the trans, so life is simpler in that respect.

When you get a harness, if its from an auto car, just tie up any transmission connections or get rid of them if you're positive you'll never run a computer controlled trans again. Program the pcm for a manual transmission and you're golden.

If the 93 PCM doesn't control the trans, then why does it have to be reprogrammed to think its for a manual trans? Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, I'm just a little puzzled as to why
