Things you must do
before dropping in the LT1
-
The ERG must be
removed. It will hit the firewall.
-
The Mazda oil pressure
switch must be installed directly into the Chevy's block,
don't try to use the original extension. There is no
clearance for it.
-
You must clearance the
transmission tunnel on the passenger side after you remove
the Mazda heat shield.
-
The oil pan must be clearanced
on the right side to clear the P/S rack.

| Here's
the LT1 and transmission ready to drop in. Lots of room. I did
it all by myself, but it would have gone faster with a helper
to steer it in while I lower it.
You will need to get that hood open as
far as you can. Watch out for the upper rad support, the oil
pan could bend it.
Once you clear the rad support, you need
to drop the tail end of the transmission way down low. Make
sure you have no oil in it, or you have plugged the tail
shaft. |

Notice the stick to gain a bit more room.

| Just
about in all the way. |
 |
| Resting
on the cradle. It just little old me about 15 minutes to slip
it in with no damage. |

| A
front view. |
 |
| Notice
how high the OEM alternator sits! It does hit the hood.
An easy fix though. |
