LT1 to LT4 engine swap
Hi, I just got a lt4 complete engine and I'm cleaning it up and putting a new cam and lifters in and I noticed the crank position sensor,(I knew this motor has one but just forgot).My question is if I put this engine in my 1994 corvette with my computer and wire harness do I have to hook that up or can I just leave it alone. thanks for your help. jeff

This might sound stupid and you might think I'm an idiot but I just took out my 396 stroker lt1 motor to replace it with the lt4 motor.I had the 396 in for 4 years and it's built using all the good stuff,best time all motor is a 10.9 et and that was with drag radials, so the thing is it's way to fast for my wife to drive and she's complained since the first day I started to do work on it.So I plan on getting another vette to put my 396 back in.I bought this vette brand new and it only has 20,000 miles so I figured I would do a motor swap and keep it mint. thanks jeff
