Experimental forum for hybrid projects I see that there is a lot of interest in retrofitting LS1/LS6 powertrains into other vehicles.
We have put this forum up to see if there is interest...

Re: Experimental forum for hybrid projects I have an old Fiero with a V-8 Archie kit. You think it will fit? I have all the nessesary hardware to support a SBC install but not sure if the mounts are the same on the LS1,6 units. Are they? <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Re: Experimental forum for hybrid projects I'm certainly interested in this area, since I do this for a living!
Not so much the installations, but custom wiring harnesses, PCM programming, complete, pre-wired engine/tranmission assemblies, custom fuel injection systems, etc. The LT1 engine package is probably our number 1 seller right now, but the LS1 is starting to catch up as they become more available and affordable. I'll be doing a complete LS1/4L60E install in a 91 Z28, as soon as we finish a 502/502 in a Caprice wagon!

Re: Experimental forum for hybrid projects I have heard of many LS1 powered projects out there.
Locally there is a guy with 68 Camaro RS with a 98 LS1 in it.
I met a guy at ETown who installed a turbocharged LS1 into a 1959 Cadillac.
Westech up in WI installed an LS1 into a Cobra kit car.

Re: Experimental forum for hybrid projects I like the idea of this forum, I wondered about putting an LS1 in both my 72vette and my 91 RS.
Great idea this forum. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
