LS1s can be Posi-able...

 

[stonecold0469]

no, i mean i have another lumina with a 3800 sc engine!
is there any possssibility (now?) that it can work?
what problems can i encounter?
PCM?
wiring?
etc etc

has anybody done this?

Transmission, Obviously.....The wrong set of wheels being driven...

 

[stonecold0469]

i plan on RWD the damn thing! but i just dont know enough details!
i did some research and found none!

 

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

I think it just plain hasn't been done on a Lumina...

I think there was a RWD'd/LS1 GP though.

Are you good at metal fabrication, do you own a welder, are you good at wiring ? If not don't mess with it.

 

[redlinepontiac]

check out chris aliston chassis works

 

[stonecold0469]

ill love to know the guy in the ls gp...
i do own a welder and know how to fab stuff
ill give myself a good 7 on wiring

 

[redlinepontiac]

go for it, theres nothing you cant build with a good supply of beer and pizza

 

[stonecold0469]

hahahahhaha,
i make pizzas everyday!!! its my job!!!
i drink beer everynight!!! its my Hobby!!!

hehehehehehehehe
after almost everybody telling me it can't be done
i have decided to do one of the two
First option:
L67 (already have another one)
Firebird drivetrain
manual?
Auto?

Second option:
LS1
Trans am drivetrain
manual?
auto?

one of this is my mind set to.

what about wiring?

 

[matt5112]

wiring is the least of your worries.

You can buy an LS1 with harness and PCM.

 

[stonecold0469]

i can probably mitchell everything work my way on the harness
right?

 

[matt5112]

if by that you mean use mitchell to make your own harness, yes, but the pig tails are expensive.

 

[stonecold0469]

i meant using the ls1 harness on my car!
to make everything else work on it!
