ls ? into 66 chevelle I am getting ready to install a new motor in my 66 chevelle this winter I have all over different websites looking at different engine combos. I am looking for 450 + hp just wanted to get some feedback on different engines. here are my options they are all used pullouts.
1. LS 1 that I would have to change heads, cam and intake to achieve hp.
2. LS 2 out of 05 gto low mileage would not need any work could probably only get 425 hp out of it with some tuning.
3 LQ4 truck engine change heads,cam and intake to achieve hp ( iron block more weight)
Thanks for your suggestions

For me, part of the reason to go with an LSx engine is the lighter weight of the aluminum block (especially compared with the big block I was going to run), so that ruled out option 3. I chose option 2 for my 66 Chevelle because of the awesome factory out of the box power of the LS2. Hopefully by next summer I can finally drive this thing! LOL!
