Lt1 swap

How hard is it to swap out a 3.4 for a Lt1? I'm talking computer, wiring harness, and all.

You couldn't J/P You do some chops in the graphics forum, so as I always say.... chill...

I could have been a v6 mod just as easy as you, and I would've been if I had been able to get online on mod sign up day!

well, that would be a good car to do the swap on. I'd say it could very well be worth it. Or you could swap something bigger in.

on a scale of 1 to 10, what do you think the difficulty would be to do the swap?

no you couldnt. its illegal in all states to replace a computer controlled motor with a non computer controlled motor.

and the difficulty scale isnt as high as you'd think. maybe 4 or 5. its pretty straightforth, its just that theres a lot that needs to be changed to do the job right.

yes, and of course it all depends on your level skills as a mechanic. If you suck, its gonna be hard.
