thinking about doing a swap next summer. Going to get a crate motor or used one. Think should go for the LS1 with trans or get a simple carbed motor?

 

I've drove a 70 nova with an LS1 swapped in. I dont know much about the work involved, but the nova was very smooth. You also cant beat the reliability of the LS1 or the gas milage/ power it offers.

Well, here is an LS1 with cam,exhaust,and 3200 stall. It gets 25 mpg and idles as smooth as can be.

a chevy in a stang?????????? wtf!

 

i've personally installed an LS1 into a 68 camaro. not a big deal. i say go for it. LS1s are monsters.

 

Thats the exact same question that a guy with an 04 Cobra asked him at the track one night. He was sooo mad about it. My friend proceeded to hand him his *** and then saw him in the pits afterwards and said " Thats why. I wanted a FAST Mustang"

 

lol thats great

I am def goin to do the LS1 swap next summer. I want to get a truck so money is tight now

 

What car are you planning on putting this engine in? In a 1st gen i would put in a ZZ383/425 which makes good power and is still a small block and costs less than a LS1 unless you are planning on pulling one out of a donor. The 383 makes much more power and torque, though.

 

def. will get the LS from a donor....

yes it is in the 1st gen

ZZ383 fuel injected?

 

1967 Chevrolet K10 (Project)
2005 Chevy 2500HD Duramax (605ft. lbs. of torque )

"Naw officer, i wasn't street racing, that would be illegal! (That was just a burnout!!)"

hey ed, where'd you get the Trans am?? they never made a 35th anniversary. the trans am only saw 33 years of existance.

 

hyjacker lol

what about the LS2 crate motor. That looks awsome! Now i just need to win lotto

 

go with the LS7. i think that motor puts out some hp.

 

a few......grand

 

I say do it but if your on a budget then a donor car will be needed. If not a LS1 crate is about as much as a LS2 so I say if you can go that route go for the LS2
