What are some easy vehicles that have been converted into LSX Cars/Trucks. I am looking for something light with some decent handling. I was looking at a 1984 Corvette. A friend of mine has one, and the Transmission is a direct bolt in cause the mounts match, the Engine mounts would have to be re-done a little bit, and then most of it is custom is like any swap.
If anything can't be found easy, I just might beef up my Camaro with a Moser 8.5" 10-bolt Rear and go from there, I already got the Harness built for it.

are you at the airbase. If so, just about anything should be doable if they have a auto hobby shop. All the tools in the world available to anyone with a little ability.

I am, and I use that place all the time, trust me.. I have my own Tools, just about everything I need to tear the Car apart. You here also?

The question was more directed as in what would be an easy conversion and something that would be cool with a LS Engine in it.

Third gen f-bodies are easy, not much cutting is needed, and the later ones have electronic speedos from the factory.

g-bodies are pretty easy, same with second gen camaros.

i wish it wasnt so but a lot of rear drive imports...like rx-7, 240sx, etc.

A Miata would be a fast little **** with a built 402 in it..

camarolvr69

miata weighs as much as an iron 402

No, I'm in Dover Arkansas, Hwy 7. Used the hobby shops when I was in the Navy all the time. Did a 41 Chevy convertable in Hawaii at the hobby shop. Cant beat the equipment they have. I'm working on a 96 Blazer, not to light though. S10 trucks are fairly light though. The work to put engine in isn't that hard either. Available everywhere too.

there is a ls1 miata on here that just got completed....definatly worth reading about.s10's are easy too

camarolvr69

wonder how they fit an ls1 into a miata engine bay

murphy660

^there's a ls6 miata in va. if you didn't know

camarolvr69

thats gotta be one sick ride
whats it setup for? autox?

murphy660

pretty sure its setup for just um straight nastiness lol. i think its has like 420whp

camarolvr69

i have to agree, thats a lot of power for a miata

murphy660

It's a 383 stroker motor... LS6 block w/ heads/cam
something like 420 rwhp and 450 rwtq.
and supposibly weighs about 2300lbs....


that would make for a hell of a ride

s10-den

I wouldnt get in it.Might get run overby a little 4x4.Just to little for me.I watched the vidio of this little monster,to much for me,something to see

93-95 RX-7. They have great handling, and aren't too bad to swap engines into. You just need to get the engine/tranny/harness. Modify the harness, and buy one of the subframes from granny or hinson and you'll be set.
