Default LT1 compatibility.
Swap [1985 auto l98 -> 1995 auto lt1]

I just recieved my LT1 block, trans, and all accesories today by delivery. Before I start pulling out my l98, what might I need to make this swap work. I have a radiator.. and I was thinking it may need a mount conversion and a different drive shaft. Anybody know?

......... Your '85 motor mounts will bolt right up to the LT1 block in the same location ... the driveshaft and slip yoke are identical ... ..... You will need the '95 PCM and wiring harness .........

Is the motor from a Corvette or a Camaro? Accessory drives are different.
