Hi there, i'm new to LS1Tech forum and also just learning V8 American heritage . I'm currently running tuned 2JZ-GTE (from Supra) FI engine at 20psi with 500hp and 700nm of torque, but after several strikes from it this year i decided to switch to an NA power. And the only option i see is LS series engines, which are modern and reliable.



I'm about to order a crate engine from Summit or JEGS (actually Jegs's price is better) LS3 376/525 but cannot undertsand what exaclty do i need to order to run the engine, apart from the engine itself.

Here is the link - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/na...9233/overview/
JEGS http://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet-Perf...1360K/10002/-1 (comes with ECU kit and an oil pan)

So i assume i also need to add:
- alternator
- starter
- engine harness and ECU kit (LS 376/525 HP Engine Controller Kits 19259261)
- power steering pump?
- accessories and belts?

what else?

I will get clutch kit and T56 later, i will order it separately.

Thank you in advance.

Why not piece something together? You could get a much nicer motor for the same price, possibly less.

These engines cost more but they're also complete turn key packages, make more power, and are built with forged rotating assemblies.
Texas-speed LS3 turn key engine packages.

Thank you for the link. These engine are really sexy, but still i plan to use my LS outside of US i need to have it stock, so to be able to fix it if something happens. For TSP motors it will be much more comlicated

look at SDPC for crate engine prices .

Thank you, prices are pretty much similar to Summit and JEGS, no big difference. In the end whole kit will be in range of 9-10k$ for a new ~500hp turn key engine
