its up to you of course but id have it checked to make sure its ok internally.

how much hp that engine has with those mods is better than ls1?

A reasonable build job will run $7k. Are you a decent mechanic? A LS1 will cost about $7k in decent condition. It sounds as if you are not really familiar with these cars, get an LS1 and have fun.

id say based on what youve told me it would make similar power to a stock ls1.


me,im a fan of getting the most cubes you can afford.

yes you are right not familiar with these engines i used to own a lt1 long time ago when i was in high school 15 year ago

im asking because i can get a 5.3 engine with ls6 cam and ls6 intake and harness and ecu for 1500 and a ls1 just the engine for 1700 and a ls6 with harness and ecu for 3400 whats the best option. and how hard would it be to make it fit on my 70 rs camaro

so that mean that i should get the ls1 is almost the price is the same or save more money and get the ls6

ls6 is a better choice imo. ls2 even better.

oceguera83
