L98 into a Lt1 car
okay so I'm about to swap an L98 into a 1992 vette I have the complete 1988 donor car runs and drives great but has body damage. Has anyone ever done this? I have some questions if its ever been done.

So, before we get going on this one, the question is "why"?
There is a whole lot of electrical that will need to be (re)done. Two very different system; distributor/bank fired verses an Optispark and your ECM may get bijiggity.

Truthfully with all you need to do with your Drive train Conversions and putting in the wiring for a L-98. I feel your time & Money would be better Spent if you Parted what you Have and Just got a Production 6 speed I gave a short look in your area and for UNDER $10,000 there is a Clean 42000 mile 6 Speed.

Okay another idea would be to swap the rear end of the '92 onto the 88 and just paint it. Is it difficult to swap quarter panels and rear bumper?

The reason I wanted to just swap the power train is to have a clean title car. Plus my 92 roller is in all-round better shape then the 88
