[QUOTE=Strats-N-Vettes]I have a spare LT1....80k on it....removed to put in the built motor thats in it now.

Let me know if you need a donor...its has a custom built "cage" made for shipping. and the motor is still mounted in the cage and still wrapped in thick plastic and has been since removed. [/QUOTE]
 
Now just for the fun of it, Strats-N-Vettes, can´t you give us a description on the hows and not hows to put an LT1 in a drivers side door...

Ohhhhhhh....a wise guy huh??

Take this:
[QUOTE]
In the last 2 weeks my '95 Coupe has been pissin' me off.  I have been fighting a fuel pump/fuel injector problem trying to diagnose without swapping parts.[/QUOTE]
 
Then this (notice the period at end of sentence):

[QUOTE]Looks like the motor is shot.[/QUOTE]


I saw those sentences and thought the guys LT1 died and due to the way the sentences were wrote I thought he also had a window problem....so I offered him a free engine.

Several days later I realized the mistake, but left the post as it was...


I tried to help, I promise not to do it again !   


I'll just go back into my cave and keep all my free high-performance stuff to myself...

On the fuel delivery problem, don't ignore the fuel regulator. Thought I had a fuel injector problem. Well changing the EGR solenoid, noticed I had some fuel in the vacum line. Changed the fuel regulator and start up problem, fuel smell, went a way as did trouble pulling above 3500 RPMs. Like having a new motor.

Oh, by the way.  I haven't posted in a while.

Yep, it was the Fuel Pressure Regulator.  Easy fix, cost about $50.

Starts up like now and runs great.

Now for that wax job...
