LS6 into 98 a4 Hi
Any one know what I will need to do to put the GM LS6 long block crate motor that comes with the Camaro oil pan into my 98 A4. Can I swap over accessories, wiring, manifolds, etc? Will it work with the 98 computer?
Thanks JA.

why are you swapping long blocks? All you need is the heads, ls6 intake and ls6 cam kit..and your set for about 5-5.5k less than what the crate motor cost.

Not that much lesss. I priced that route out with a local spped shop. There is not alot of support in my area. The parts were well over 3k before labor. Also, a crate motor means new stuff in the bottom. You do have a valid point though.

Wouldn't the money be spent better with different heads/cam and a tune? The price of LS6 stuff doesn't seem to justify the power you get, compared to better aftermarket parts

Hi
Can I get an LS2 to work with my 98 computer? I also have a government scan and sniffer test to deal with.
Thanks JA
