I'm considering swapping an LS4 into A Tesla.. Does anyone have any physical dimensions? All assistance is appreciate .

 

Welcome to LS1Tech! I saw an LS in a Tesla that was at SEMA a few years ago. It was a front engine/rear drive setup. Doubt it was an LS4.

 

If you do it, I would kill to see an LS / Electric Hybrid Tesla.

 

who are you willing to kill? LOL. I bet some people just might take you up on that. LOL

 

You would have a much easier time putting in a front engine rear drive setup in a Tesla. Unless you are a master fabricator/engineer, a front drive setup would be comparatively near impossible to achieve.

 

Which model of Tesla?

 

Likely lots of fab any way you go....

Yep. Worse than most. You will start by gutting it. Then sheet metal surgery to fit the parts. Custom suspension and drivetrain mounting. Might need to enlarge wheeltubs as well, as they rely on AWD and not massive tires to get grip. Then you deal with having to figure out how to integrate the electronics, or completely re-engineer them. The center display / instrumentation, HVAC, locks, mirrors, windows, etc. Braking and Steering need to be worked out also, if you want power assist.

That said, if you gutted a functional car, you could maybe recoup good money selling the Tesla drive units and batteries. But I assume you don't start with a fully functional car just to gut it and make it slower.

 

I have a feeling that the OP doesn't realize an LS4 is the front wheel drive one... Or he's just trolling, not sure.

 

2 LS4’s - one in front and one in back. The irony here is that the best part of the car is the power train. Near as I can tell, the rest of the car is dodgy at best...

I watched that episode a few months back....but actually had forgotten about it. Hopefully, no one will do that again - either to a Tesla or anything else....

 

You guys just got trolled lololololol

 

Yeah, but we're having fun with it..... lol

 

Would you mind killing a few of the Tesla forum guys? They're brutal. They really don't like the idea.

 

I'll be swapping out the front! Motor off the Tesla with the LS4. The structure is there, just a matter of a few custom motor mounts, sub frame, and cv axles. Let's not talk exhaust just yet.

 

I actually think there won't be much fabrication work. Mostly just motor mounts and axles.

 

I do. Im planning on swapping only the front motor and leaving the rear.

 

Model S Dual motor version.

 

I'm planning on ONLY swapping the front motor, trick the car into thinking it's Single drive car. Structure is there for FWS system already . All I have to do is fabricate motor mounts and axles.
