manual swap on a 02 z28

I would like to know how much it would roughly be to pay someone to do it for me. I found a source where I can get everything i need for 3500, but I was curious if I should attempt to do it myself even if I'm still new to modding and working on cars. my car only has 48k miles on it and runs amazing and I love it so I don't want to get rid of it to just buy a manual. any insight is appreciated!

Can you run these on a fourth gen with stock springs?

All hammered out so I know they fit that way but will I get away with these on the factory springs, particularly in the rear?

Wierd surging issue

If this isn't allowed delete it just couldn't find post rules.

Trying to get some help with an issue I've been having. Just getting ideas together for when I can put tires back on it and get some drove time. My 1995 firebird has been intermitantly braking up at about 1800 rpm. Continues to surge until I shift to a lower rpm and give it time then it goes back to normal. I included a video. Mostly normal driving but it does it at the beginning and end. When it's reving I have my foot consistently on the gas. No pumping. Any help is appreciated. Will continue to update as I get more info. Also attached are the fixes previous owner attempted if they can be trusted.

LT1 Questions

Hey Guys, I acquired an LT1 engine & trans out of a 92 vette for free (yes it has the aluminum heads). I am planning to swap out the old tired 305/TH350 out of our 67 Camaro for this LT1 and trans. The LT1 engine is in good shape, and ran before getting pulled. I know I'll need to get a new wiring harness, so far all I've found is the Painless 60502. I plan on doing a few minor things to the LT1 before putting it in like replace the cap and rotor on the optispark, new water pump and little things like that. Also I am thinking about putting a choppy cam in it something like the comp cc306 and a 3-3500 RPM converter. I've got enough mechanical and engine experience, but haven't ever played with an LT1 and I'm sure I'll have many questions, but have a few off the top of my head I need to get figured out. First, will the SBC engine mounts work on the LT1? Will SBC headers fit on the LT1? Can I use a stock type radiator with the reverse flow cooling system? Any other tips and trick or helpful hints would be appreciated. I am aware this motor is old and not an LS, but it was free and from what I gather LT1's are still great motors. Thanks!

What is this? Seems aftermarket

I don't think it's a kill switch. I flipped it with the ignition on and it didn't cut the current. Then I started the car and flipped it and still nothing. Could it be line lock? What else could it be?

What size tire would you use if you're using a radial and it will be street driven. 15x4 wheel.

Abnormal amount of play in clutch pedal?

Hello! I installed a new LuK clutch master cylinder back in February and have put about 500 miles on it. But yesterday it started have a lot of play at the top of the pedal. There is about a good 2-3” of play before I would engage the clutch.

3rd gen exhaust system question

Looking for a complete set up for my 91 with a 305. Headers back. Thinking mid length headers.

I’ve really only done headers on old Chrysler V8s and it’s always an issue with spark plugs with them.

Does anyone have set ups they’ve used that fit well?

Would the 1998-2002 SLP LM1 exhaust fit my 96 formula without issues?

I know it sounds silly but SLP doesnt sell a LM exhaust listed for a 1993-1996 car, and Ive heard i wont have issues with installing the exhaust on my 96 formula because of it being a 96, but i just wanna double check. can never be too safe! thanks

Need some help with programming a new key fob.

My old key fob for my 1996 Z28 Camaro hasn't worked in years and I finally got around to ordering a new one. I hopped in, switched the car on and off once to disable the alarm, pulled out the Blue Radio Fuse #15 from the fuse box, turned it on & off 3 times and the doors locked and everything. The problem arose when I tried holding down the lock + unlock buttons on the new key fob; there was no response from the vehicle at all. I tried with my old remote as well and nothing. Fresh batteries in both of them so I'm not sure what the issue could be. It's a Canadian car and the Radio Fuse is in a different location but that shouldn't be causing any issues should it? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
