Is there any advantage of one motor and computer vs the other. The 94 is of course an OB-1 and the 96 a OB-2. The reason I ask is, I have a good running 94 camaro LT1 (70,000) with basic CMC upgrades. It only needs about 700.00 worht of rollcage material to make it track legal. I am a welder so the install is free. The other car is 96 Firebird t-2 car with with a blown motor. It has a nice full cage ,but stock suspension.
If you had to keep one motor/computer to maintain, is one better than the other? I am mainly afraid of the electrical/sensor side of things. But if there is any weak points of the motors, that would be helpful info also. Does any one know of a good/fair electrical place near Orange County, California that can simplify the wireing on one of these car? (Removing the VAT and need lessless stuff) to a more race like setup. I know I have asked a lot of questions, any help would be appricated. Thanks, Ed |

I'd keep the '94. OBDI will be easier to maintain and phsically the cars are similar. The only advantage the '96 has is the vented Opticrap. You can update that on an older LT1 quite easily.
As for the electrical, just pick up a painless harness and plug it in. I'm sure that'll be a cheaper/easeier/cleaner route to go than paying some shop to do the same thing for you. Jason S. |
