I wanted to document as much as possible about putting a Gen II LT1 Small Block engine into an Hbody car. These engines are becoming more popular, plentiful, and affordable for street rodders and racers, nd I believe they provide an excellent combination of performance, economy, low emissions, and driveability. Although Tim McCabe pioneered this area by putting a modern EFI Tuned Port engine into his green ega, so far, only a few HBOA members have attempted an LT1 conversion. Be advised these tips are what ed for me— “your mileage may vary”, as they say. Early Vega and Monza body owners should take this nto account when planning their engine swaps, but most of what worked in my ’76 should work for your cars due to the common subframe and pan.
