LS1 in an X-treme? I was just wondering if it was possible to throw an LS1 in a S-10? I thought it would rock if I could only get some traction. Tell me what ya'll think.

P.S. Does anyone know where I can get an LS1? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: LS1 in an X-treme? Dude, that rocks ice man. 8k on everything? Why the heck did you pull it? That sure sounds tempting. I'll get back to you. Maybe we can work something out. Thanx for the info guys.

Re: LS1 in an X-treme? This isn't exactly an easy or a cheap swap, basically it doesn't fit but it can be done as long as you not looking for a bolt in swap and can handle some fabrication. I'm in the middle of this on a 98 Sonoma so if you do it I'll try to help.

From what ive read on that swap, you have to use the vette accessories on the front of the motor. Also modify your motor mounts and all the other fabrication that goes along with that. Most ive seen have retained exhaust manifolds too. Try s10forum.com

also check out www.turbols6.com Todd has done a crapload of research on getting the LSx motor into a 4wd S10 chassis......Turbotime/JSManufacturing are going to start offering LSx motor mounts for the 4wd S-series as well I think....
