1996 WS6 LT1383 to LS3
 

Hey guys well I've led the LT1 fight for a long time and I'm finally done. The LT1 blues got to me.

So here's the plan... Off with the LT1/T56 and in with a LQ4 with a LS3 top end/T56.

Nice TA! I let my LT1 car go in April. It was hard, but I needed the money for other things. Hope to have a 2nd gen project with a LQ4/9, LS3 heads/intake and PAT G. cam by next spring. Good luck on the build!

Here is a good list for ya to get started with..:)

Good idea, its well worth it.

Merv I love your right ups. Soo much detail. I've done this before. I had a 94 formula that I put a LS1/A4 in and converted to trans am looks. I traded that for a 79 TA I'm doing a similar motor in. How ever I just bought one mean ass wicked big cam for this car. Can't wait.

well it's been fighting me but it's out!! LS1 set ups are even easier to pull out! wtf lol I've collected up the big parts already and a HUGE cam so I have to get the pistons fly cut.

Man, I'm on the fence thinking of doing the exact same thing! Haven't pulled the trigger yet on the Ws6 but plan on picking it up next wk and enjoy it 1st before swapping in a LQ9. Definitley will be following your progress. Mind me asking how much the swap has set you back thus far?

Very nice car. I love the LT1 WS6 cars. I was looking for one buy found my 00' Hawk instead.

It's kinda hard to say price wise. I already have a ls1 trans but I've spent 2500 so far.

Rick, be sure to post a link to your build thread in this thread:

Also, congrats on making the decision to make the swap. I was in a similar situation, 383-->LQ9/LS3. Good luck with the build, I'll be sure to keep stopping in to check out how it's coming along.

Just figured I'd post a picture or 2 of the motor to be
