Re: Anyone seen an LS1 in an S-10? I'm interested in this also.. I just picked up a LS1 and want to install it in a S10 (2000 or newer). But I would like to hear from someone who has performed the swap>>>

Re: Anyone seen an LS1 in an S-10? Thanks Toxic!!
Great article but....Humm,,I may have to reconsider that idea.. It appears to be a bit more work than I had considered.. I guess thats why GM hasn't dropped in a V8
New Question what does a 2wd Short box step side weigh?? At least it would bolt in ect..

Re: Anyone seen an LS1 in an S-10? At least 2 places make the conversion parts for this swap. Its been done many times before.

Re: Anyone seen an LS1 in an S-10? I see one every day, I drive it 80 miles to and from work in it. If you are interested in seeing it, go to www.zr2.com and look at my members page. It is a 1998 S10 ZR2 and my name is Mike Copeland. It is a very difficult swap with many custom parts.

Re: Anyone seen an LS1 in an S-10? LS1 ZR2, Nice site.. I agree with you, it does not appear to be an easy swap. So I will most likely move up to a full sized GMC or Chevy or pick something else. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
Those are very nice rides LS1 ZR2

Re: Anyone seen an LS1 in an S-10? Yes.. Lee High Tech in Florida is awesome. The owner loves doing conversions and he knows what he is doing. Be prepared for him to keep your truck for quite some time...

Re: Anyone seen an LS1 in an S-10? I would never order anything from "Lee's high tech" or "LHT" again. I got screwed soooo hardcore from them on ordering parts. He sent wrong parts, charged me, sent Sat. overnight delivery, when I said UPS ground.....overall I ended up paying around $1300 for what he said was going to cost $400 in used parts. I couldn't ever get in touch with him, and basically he took my money and I didn't hear from him for 2-3 months, then eventually I got a bunch of crappy wrong
parts that I shipped back, and he screwe me again. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> If anyone wants the full details just e-mail me. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM LHT!!!

Re: Anyone seen an LS1 in an S-10? I was just about to inquire about such a swap, but it looks like it's not for the weak hearted. So this leads me to my next question: How much of a plug and play operation would a 6.0L or 8.1L motor and the 4L80 tranny be in a 99' - up 1/2 ton truck? Would it be as simple as swapping the motor/trans. and reusing the 4.8L or 5.3L engine harness? Obviously you would need the computer from the donor vehicle. It's just a thought.

Re: Anyone seen an LS1 in an S-10? I saw some of Lee's high techs work when I droped my buddy off to have is Honda done.I guess they are two companys. He had it done By a Guy called John at Lht performance, He was real happy with everything done there.There was also a black s-10 there with a S/C LT1 in it, Looked real nice, I never met the owner of Lee's high tech, Even when he picked up his Honda he was not there. I'm considering have a S-10 done in the future when I get to talk the guy. Peace.
