IIRC, ZFDoc makes an LS adaptor plate. He is THE man when it comes to the ZF6.

Also, I talked to Chris Petris about this... and the CCM is not friendly with the LSx engine controller, you can kiss ABS and ASR goodbye. I did some digging on this when I had my 1992 coupe and came to the conclusion that you really want to start with a 1989, no chassis controller.

With that said, gauge display becomes an issue, so you will need a gauge package. Which, in theory, will be better anyway!

There are other hot rod shops that make adaptors and such to fit and LSx into just about any car.

Since you are in NC, smog will NOT be an issue, period.

Finally, a 408 in a C4 vert... you will need to reinforce that chassis. There is a reason that GM didn't offer the ZR1 as a vert...

The next big trick is the wiring. A good source is eficonnection.com. They have wiring, PCMs, and other things that go bump in the night.

But to answer the question, this can be done! I know it can be done. I just haven't done it.


I looked into the Gauge Cluster issue, and it unfortunately looks like the best way to retain all the factory function is to run the old ECU with the new one.

Tomorrow I am going to reach out to a couple clutch companies to see what it would cost to have a custom flywheel made. It appears you can run the stock bellhousing and most of the bolts will both up to it. Since my block is currently disassembled I am going to see if my machinist can drill tap the remaining holes so the SBC bellhousing bolts directly to the 6.0 block.

Ill post back my findings.
