Looking to put an LS1 or an LT1 in an cadi. Not sure if the is front wheel or rear wheel drive. Sounds like a j.o.b. Some motor mounts and trans crossmember will get you started. A new drive shaft to link the rearend up. A cooling system out of a 4th gen camaro or trans am. All the wireing and computer out of it as well, or spend the money on a painless wireing and cpu kit. Need to make power stearing line. Need to find a way to hook the shifter to the trans or mount it to the floor. Rerun the exaust. And the most important thing is the fuel pump. Need high presure lines for that as well. That should get you started.

If it's front wheel drive then the chassis needs to be modded.

good luck and have fun.

93 octain and up from there.

that info is helpful for the beginging.....   its a rearwheel drive caddy.  im pretty sure that the trans crossmember will have to be custom....  someone told me once that they thought the ls1 would mount up to just about any gm small block mounts...
