Hey guys, I just purchased a complete LS1/T56 Trans Am and was wondering what all I would need before I junk the shell? Besides the Engine, trans, harness, ecu, maf, is there anything else I would need?

I would hate to get rid of the car then find out I needed something else.

ex: Driveshaft (for the front flange)? etc etc.

I just can't keep Trans Am at my house after I pull everything and it would need to go as soon as I pull the drivetrain out.

Thanks,

Peter

 

I would suggest that you keep the whole thing until your build is complete. Get a nice car cover for it so the neighbors don't get pissy.

 

+1 ^^!! I can't tell you how many times I went to the F body carcass to get something I never dreamed I would need.

 

hey. one more in orlando
there are like 4 of us here that i know of

i pulled mine like 3 weeks ago and junked / sold the shell
i really doubt u need much.

try to remember to pull the obd2 port. i forgot mine now i have to find one in the junk yard
(i did kept the driveshaft)


where in orlando are u. let me know when u are pulling. maybe i can give u a hand if schedule allows

 

Unfortunately, I had to get rid of the car as soon as I pulled it since my HOA gets very upset. We just have too many cars as is and we aren't aloud to park on the street over night. I'm pretty sure I got everything I need, if not, we have tons of junkyards around for me to get the small stuff.

Mazdaspeedmiata, I'm located in East Orlando near Waterford Lakes. I ended up pulling the motor on Saturday as that was my only day I could do it.

Also, is there a reason my odb2 port wont work in my 99 Miata? Sorry for the noob question.

My 96 port had an extra wire or 2 than the 02 F body plug did but if you wire it right it should work just fine.

 

Cool. I m right there too by UCF

I hear u. Working m-f 9-5 doesn't leave us much spare time
The obd2 port should be the same.
Some of us here have a pre95 car that doesn't have one of those lol
